Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez did his bit for a supporter by stopping police from banning her from taking a photo with the Chilean.

A young fan was keen to grab a snap with the 26-year-old after spotting him on international duty with Chile ahead of the Copa America.

While trying to approach Sanchez, the young girl was stopped by police, but the footballer stepped in and had words with the officers before allowing his fan to have a selfie with him.

Sanchez will head into the Copa America in his homeland fresh from winning the FA Cup with Arsenal.
