Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has accused his rival Arsene Wenger of deliberately ignoring his potential handshake when Arsenal boss walked down the tunnel after his team defeated Chelsea 1-0 to claim the Community Shield for a second season in a row at Wembley.
Mourinho said that he was doing his job as the manager by congratulating his opponents on their win and insisted that if someone has missed his gesture then it was done intentionally, the Mirror reported.
Meanwhile, Wenger has refused all the charges levied against him saying that they had abandoned nothing. He also defended his team's defensive approach saying that there was probably a psychological hurdle within his players as they had failed to win a single match against Mourinho's Chelsea in his previous 13 attempts.
Despite Chelsea dominated possession, Arsenal clinched the win as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored the winner in the 23rd minute following a Theo Walcott's pass.
