Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is unlikely to face any disciplinary action from the Football Association for pushing Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho during a heated touchline bust-up in Sunday’s Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger confronted Mourinho in the technical area just after a bad foul from Gary Cahill on Alexis Sanchez midway through the first half, the Frenchman afterwards accepting he gave the Chelsea boss a “little” push.

The managers had to be separated by fourth official Jon Moss, before they were called over by referee Martin Atkinson, who gave them both a stern dressing down. Because the referee dealt with the matter as he saw it during the match, the FA is unlikely to open a disciplinary case, unless the officials’ report highlights something extraordinary.
