Five minutes had gone when Jose Mourinho went 1-0 up at Stamford Bridge yesterday.
The ball went out of play near the dugouts for an Arsenal throw-in and a ballboy gathered it as Kieran Gibbs and Mesut Ozil converged on him.
Mourinho leapt up on the sideline, motioning to the lad to throw the ball to him instead.
As the Arsenal players gestured to be given the ball, the ballboy looped it over their heads into Mourinho’s arms.
Mourinho pointed to the spot where he thought the Arsenal throw-in should be taken and handed the ball over.
As Arsene Wenger fumed a few yards away, Mourinho beamed at the ballboy and gave him the thumbs up.
Wenger never really got back into the contest after that. In fact, he fell further behind.
No one gets under the Arsenal manager’s skin quite like the Chelsea boss. Not even Alan Pardew. And yesterday Wenger let it show.
However fleetingly, Wenger actually morphed into Mourinho for a few angst-ridden seconds after a terrible tackle by Gary Cahill on Alexis Sanchez.
