The Mourinho-Wenger Era
The rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea was intensified in the early 2000s, when Jose Mourinho became manager of Chelsea. Mourinho's Chelsea team was known for its defensive solidity and counter-attacking style, and they were very difficult to beat. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's team was more attacking, and the two managers often clashed in the media. The Mourinho-Wenger era was a golden age for the Premier League, and the matches between Arsenal and Chelsea were some of the most memorable.
