Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho, has mocked his Arsenal counterpart, Arsene Wenger, after successfully plotting another win against the Gunners.
Second half goals from Kurt Zouma and Eden Hazard ensured that Wenger is yet to defeat Mourinho in eight Premier League attempts.
There had also been the issue of both managers trying to avoid each other in the traditional pre-match handshake, but they both proved critics, although they reluctantly shook hands before the match.

Talking points of the game were the red cards picked up by the Arsenal players, which seemed to have irked the Gunners boss.
And instead of showing empathy for the Emirates outfit, the former Inter Milan manager threw further tantrums at the Frenchman after the game.
Speaking to journalists after the match, Mourinho, who is one of five managers tipped to face early sack this season, noted that he had spoken with his players on how to control the emotional aspect of the game against their rivals and they did just that.
According to Mirror, Mourinho said: “Good victory, we need to win matches. We won twice in three days, we kept two clean sheets. We controlled the matches.

“I don’t have a view on the sending off. Man of the match for sure was Diego Costa. He brought everything to the game.
“I think I’ve played against Arsenal 15, 16 times. Only once they didn’t moan. I don’t know why, perhaps it is because they won that game.
“I remember my words to my players on my first derby. To win? Emotional control.
“I always repeat these words before derbies in Portugal, England, Italy, Spain.
“You always need emotional control.”
The former Real Madrid of Spain tactician also spoke about the handshake between the pair.
He said: “No problem today. I did my job. Mr Wenger did his job. And now back to normality.”

Chelsea’s win against Arsenal was only their second in six games. They now have seven points after six round of matches in the English Premier League and are up to tenth on the log.
After the game, disgruntled Arsenal fans took to the social media to express their displeasure with the manner in which the referee, Mike Dean, handled the game.
They claimed that he hates the Gunners and shared a few videos of how he had celebrated victories against them in the past.
