1. The Double Shove

It was never supposed to come down to a physical confrontation. No one ever expected it. Least of all Jose Mourinho. No matter what words were said, there was always a sort of acceptance that it would never come to blows. But that is precisely what happened when Arsenal met Chelsea that fateful day in 2014. Here’s a look back at the epic event in slow motion:

Arsene Wenger was not completely out of his mind to react in such a way. He had just witnessed his prized signing Alexis Sanchez take a nasty slide tackle from Gary Cahill. On his way to check on his Chilean, he simply took a detour and pushed Jose Mourinho.

It was just 20 minutes into the game when the double shove happened. What makes it even better is that there was no disciplinary action done against Arsene Wenger. Chelsea would inevitably win the match, but the burn of the win was soothed by the fact that Wenger got in a masterful shove on the scared little Portuguese man.
