Alexis Sanchez has spent much of the season befuddling opposition defenders, but he's shown he can also confuse his team-mates too.

The former Barcelona player has quickly emerged as one of the biggest characters at Arsenal since joining in the summer and showed just why in the video below.

As the Arsenal team arrived for their match against Swansea on Monday night, Santi Cazorla stopped to say hello to ex-Villarreal team-mate Jefferson Montero and in doing so left his suitcase unattended.

It was too good an opportunity for Sanchez to miss and like one of the many goals he's scored this season, the Chile international took his chance.

Watch from 55 seconds...

Ironically, the player who would take his chance in the 1-0 win for Swansea that followed, Bafetimbi Gomis, walks through the corridor at just the same time.
