Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has fired back at Arsenal for celebrating Tottenham's defeat at Sheffield United, saying they only enjoy the problems of others when they are also in trouble.
On July 8, 2020, Arsenal poked fun at their north London rivals on Facebook when they posted highlights of their win over Sheffield United with the caption: 'It's not easy beating Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.'
However, Mourinho has hit back at the Gunners, saying that they would not be celebrating Tottenham's woes if they were top of the league or fighting for a top-four spot.
'You only enjoy the problems of others when you are also in trouble,' Mourinho said.
He also questioned whether the post was made by Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta or one of his players, saying it was probably made by someone who was working from home during the lockdown.
Both north London rivals have a mountain to climb to force themselves into the top four or even claim a return to the Champions League via a fifth-placed finish should Manchester City's two-season ban from European competition be upheld on appeal.
Spurs have finished above Arsenal in the table for the past three seasons after a 22-year run without doing so.
