Fight: Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho almost came to blows during an ill-tempered match

Chelsea’s 2-0 win against Arsenal saw Jose Mourinho extend his unbeaten run against Arsene Wenger to 12 matches, and the clash at Stamford Bridge saw the two managers having to be separated as tempers flared.

Inevitably, the internet reacted to the fight with plenty of memes and mocked-up images of the two managers almost coming to blows.

The pretty tame nature of the pushing and shoving was heavily satirised in what was surely one of the least physically threatening ‘fights’ to have ever taken place.

The two mangers were split up very quickly by the fourth official after the spat, and the pair received a talking-to from referee Martin Atkinson.

Standard Sport takes a look at some of the best internet memes from the Mourinho-Wenger fight.
