Community Shield: Mourinho throws away runners-up medal

Jose Mourinho did not take hom his Community Shield medal, after his Chelsea team were beaten 1-0 by Arsenal at Wembley.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s super strike was all Arsene Wenger’s team needed, to win the trophy for the second year running.

It is the first time Wenger is defeating Mourinho in 14 attempts and the Blues boss refused to take home his consolation prize, instead throwing it into the Arsenal supporters’ area.

“It’s the medal for the loser… it’s a good memory for him,” Mourinho told BT Sport.

“Chelsea was the best team, had the more initiative, had good control, good ball possession.

“But you know it is that moment of the season where everyone is behind – the energy, the intensity to turn results is more difficult because people are not sharp, and don’t have intensity.

“Arsenal defended with a very low block, they defended with 10 men they put everybody in front of their line with very good organisation so… congratulations.”
