		</div><p>Arsene Wenger claimed a first victory over Jose Mourinho at the 14th attempt on Sunday before snubbing the Chelsea boss over a lack of respect.</p>
<p>Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first-half goal earned the Gunners a 1-0 win in the season-opening Community Shield at Wembley and Wenger a maiden victory over Mourinho, who was unbeaten in 13 prior meetings between the two.</p>
<p>Mourinho made a point of congratulating the Arsenal players afterwards as Wenger walked behind him, their long-running feud showing no signs of coming to an end.</p>
<p>“I believe in a job where you have to respect people and respect everybody,” said Wenger, who shoved the Blues boss in last season’s Barclays Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.</p>
<p>“I shook a few hands after the game, but there’s nothing special there.”</p>
<p>Mourinho said: “You see the images, you see where I am. (I was) there for the winners, to wait for them in a point where you only miss me if you want to miss me.</p>
<p>“Every Arsenal player came in my direction, which was the easiest thing to do.</p>
<p>“If other people didn’t come in my direction, that’s not a problem, that’s not a story, that’s not the end of the world.”</p>
<p>Mourinho felt the better team lost, but was pointed in his praise of Wenger’s approach, saying Arsenal were “a team that leaves their philosophy in the dressing room”.</p>
<p>Mourinho, who threw his runners-up medal to an Arsenal fan in the crowd, insisted he did not have a psychological hold on Wenger’s teams, but described his 13-game unbeaten streak as an “eternity”.</p>
<p>The Frenchman, who disagreed that he compromised on his approach, felt the prior record against Mourinho played on his players’ minds and contributed to their display.</p>
<p>“We abandon nothing,” Wenger said. “Personally I must honestly say it didn’t play on my mind at all.</p>
<p>“But as long as I get it served every time in press conferences it can have an impact on the team.</p>
<p>“The way my team behaved during some periods of the game it helped. It was important for them to get that hurdle out of the way.”</p>
<p>Arsenal had Petr Cech in goal after his 11 trophy-laden years at Stamford Bridge.</p>
<p>Wenger said: “He did well and maybe he had an influence on the Chelsea players as well.</p>
<p>“They feel to score against him they have to score the perfect goal.”</p>
<p>Wenger now wants his Arsenal side to carry momentum into next week’s Premier League opener with West Ham.</p>
<p>He said: “Confidence-wise it’s good, it’s positive. It allows you to focus on the next game with belief, to share with your players that you did something right.</p>
<p>“Now starts the championship and we have to turn up with the needed performance and the demanded performance in every single game.”</p>
<p>Midfielder Jack Wilshere is likely to miss next weekend’s clash with the Hammers due to the ankle injury he picked up in training on Saturday, Press Association Sport understands.</p>
<p>Mourinho’s side begin their title defence against Swansea and may again be without Diego Costa.</p>
<p>Costa missed Sunday’s game with a hamstring problem, something which plagued him last season and continues to perplex Mourinho.</p>
<p>The Blues boss said: “I don’t know (if Costa will be fit to play Swansea). You think I’m lying but I’m not lying.</p>
<p>“If next Friday you ask me does he play against Swansea, I don’t answer, because maybe yes, maybe no. I prefer not to answer. Let’s see.”</p>
