Arsene Wenger may have finally have beaten Jose Mourinho - at the fourteenth time of asking - but the Arsenal boss doesn't seem to be prepared to end hostilities with his Chelsea counterpart.

But Wenger, who famously clashed with Mourinho last season, walked straight past his opposite number without offering a hand.
The Chelsea boss looked unperturbed however, as he turned calmly and walked down the tunnel himself, but he spoke out about the incident after the match.
'I waited for them (Arsenal staff) at a point where you only miss me if you want to miss me,' insisted the Mourinho, who paused after the snub only to throw his losers medal into the crowd before leaving the pitch.
Mourinho's medal was caught by a jubliant young Arsenal fan, who looked thoroughly delighted with his souvenir from the day.
