Arsene Wenger will face no punishment from the Football Association after his altercation with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho on Sunday.

The Arsenal chief clashed with his opposite number during the Gunners' 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

The Frenchman entered the home technical area to complain about a challenge from Gary Cahill on Alexis Sanchez during the first-half.

And as tempers flared, Wenger pushed the Portuguese, before claiming after the match that Mourinho had prevented him getting "from A to B".

Referee Martin Atkinson dealt with the issue at the time, warning the pair about their conduct, while deciding not to send them off.

Under FA rules, his actions meant that further action was always unlikely, and the FA have seen fit to stand behind their officials' decision.

Asked about the exchange after the game, the Gunners boss said: "I don’t regret it. What is there to regret? I wanted to go from A to B and somebody confronted me before B without any sign of welcome.

"B was Sanchez, to see how badly he was injured. Honestly, I don’t listen to what he says. You could see if I really try to push. Come on."

Additionally, the FA are set to contact both clubs about the incident outside the ground which delayed kick-off for 15 minutes.

In an area outside the away end, two flares were lit and one man was later arrested.
