Wenger had failed to win any of his previous 14 competitive clashes against Mourinho dating back to 2004, with his only victory over his old rival coming in the 2015 Community Shield when the Portuguese coach was in charge of Chelsea.
Asked Tuesday if Arsenal can still finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League after Sunday's win, he replied they still have a chance.
Manchester United appeared to have no fresh fitness concerns as they trained on Wednesday ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg against Celta Vigo. It's nice for them. "I left Highbury, they were crying, I left Emirates Stadium, they were crying". They were walking in the streets with their heads low.
"The Arsenal fans, they are happy", Mourinho said.
It also meant qualifying for the Champions League would be an uphill task for Wenger's side - although this win over United keeps any slim chances alive. I've tried to help the team on and off the pitch and tried to help us win. You think I enjoy that a big club like Arsenal is not winning big trophies? I am not enjoying that.
Rooney continues to be linked with a big-money move to China, where his agent Paul Stretford spent time earlier in the year speaking to interested clubs. I really don't care about it [the record against Wenger].
Fifth-placed United remain four points behind City with three games left.
Ogun Govt. To Name Street, Stadium After Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua is now the biggest sports star in Britain - and is heading for global superstardom. "I need to be a billionaire ". The win saw Joshua receive £15 million, but the future could see a lot more for the Watford-born fighter.
"I don't think we have any chance of finishing top four in the Premier League".
Celta need not look far for inspiration, having overcome a 1-0 home defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk to prevail 2-1 on aggregate in the last 32.
You can not assess who Arsenal will buy in the summer until you know who is going to be in charge - if it is, say, Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone then it will be 10 warriors; if Wenger is still manager it will be 10 really nice and pretty footballers.
"We needed to be patient", he said of Sunday's game.
"I watched the (Liverpool) game and I've seen the penalty given by the referee (for a handball by Jack Stephens)". When you don't go with everything, it's more hard.
Was he invisible again? the same accusations were back once again that Ozil vanished during a big game.
Currently, Liverpool and Manchester City are favourite to go through to the next year's champions league but anything could happen in the next few matches.
