The win puts United top of the table for now as they go two points ahead of Chelsea. But the Blues have a chance to regain their top spot when they take on Swansea this afternoon. Arsenal meanwhile, now lie nine points behind United.

A poor performance from Arsenal really. Lucky not to be two down at half time, they failed to show enough bite to threaten a comeback. Credit to them, they had their best spell just after the break but the second goal and the sending off meant things were all over with 25 minutes to go. A solid and confident performance from the home side. Ferguson will be very pleased.
