The Gunners ran out deserved winners against a shockingly under-par Chelsea, who were beaten by a fellow top-four contender for the second successive league game.
And the 66-year-old showed he was still in high spirits by engaging in a cheeky back-and-forth with a reporter whose dictaphone began playing a pre-recorded phone call during the press conference.
Holding the ringing device aloft, Wenger gives the room a cheeky smile.
“It’s for you,” a reporter shouts out.
“It’s your wife,” replies the former Monaco man, to giggles from the room.
“It’s Jose,” another voice shouts – a reference to the Portuguese manager’s controversial comments about Wenger made earlier this week.
Following their impressive victory over Chelsea, Arsenal have jumped up to third in the table, behind runaway leaders Manchester City and only a point short of their bitter north London rivals Tottenham.
"It was an outstanding team performance. We played with spirit and collective pace and movement, always in a positive and committed team way,” Wenger said.
"Ideally you want the perfect game and you never get it. We got nearly the perfect first half and that is not bad. Football doesn't care for history and the anniversaries, just the result on the day.
“Today we had a good performance."
Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer even compared Chilean striking ace Alexis Sanchez to Thierry Henry following the dominant victory.
He told The Sun: “They seem to have it all and in Alexis Sanchez down the middle a real fulcrum, a real player to look to like they had in Thierry Henry.”
