EPL: Mourinho Extends His Unbeaten Record against Wenger



By Femi Akinpelu Joseph

The United manager remains unbeaten in 12 league games against his bitter rival, with the latter rival fortunate to avoid suffering a ninth defeat by the Portuguese boss on Saturday.

The Portuguese has taken charge of 12 top-flight matches against the Gunners, first at the helm of Chelsea and now United, winning a total of five while drawing seven.

Wenger will have his countryman Olivier Giroud to thank for his last-minute equalizer at Old Trafford which spared him another defeat by the Mourinho.

United took the lead through a Juan Mata’s 68 minute goal at the second half, until Giroud’s  89th minute header that ensured that both teams shared the spoils.

To date, the Frenchman’s only win over his counterpart in 15 attempts came in the 2015 Community Shield, while he has drawn six and lost eight.
