Easy.
Should have scored 5.

Southampton will be a lot harder.

It's a bit hard for the fringe players to come on with the game won and the team in wind down mode.. Feel a bit for them.. but the starting XI picks itself at the moment.

So weird how we missed all our easy chances in those last 30 minutes. Frustrated me a bit, if it comes down to the last game against Leicester we won't be getting 15 chances to score. Unfortunate the scoring had to start with that terrible call for the pen, but we almost certainly would have won anyways. First prem team in history to win 4 straight with 3+ goals :D

That will do nicely. Only small gripe is that I wish we scored more but oh well. You can’t complain after a 3-0 win.

MOTM for me was Paul Pogba. Just different class. Mason Greenwood another bright showing - the boy is just simply sensational!

First 20 minutes Villa heaped too much pressure on, I don't think Fernandes goal was a penalty.

Martial didn't seem too happy to be subbed, shades of Rooney throwing his boots being stroppy when he was subbed!

Pogba I'm happy he got his goal, well deserved.

Villa we’re embarrassed tonight and we didn’t really have our shooting boots on.

The goal difference should have been wiped out. At this rate though it won’t matter

We are a well oiled machine. 100 goals in all competitions. First team to win 4 consecutive by 3 goals in the PL. 17 games unbeaten.

It's looking alright, ain't it?

Good progress to set records that do not involve us being defeated by a lowly team for first time in decades.

First half was arguably the worst one since, say, January, but it is all normal. We play every three days with the same starting eleven
We will get to top 4

Results and 3 points are all important but GD maybe come end of season. Missed some absolute sitters and could've been 6 easily but onto Southampton, who I've felt are potentially troubling opposition.

Hope chavs drop points against Sheff Utd to give us that extra impetus on Monday.

First 11 great. Although Rashford is kind of weak link in the defense, but he could be just taking time to get back to his form.

Subs are not good. No real depth in the squad.

Only complaint is we didn’t score more, what a nice complaint to have.

Cruised it again after the penalty gave us the kick up the arse. Pogba, Greenwood, Martial excellent.

Another clean sheet and the 3+ goal streak is a nice record for Ole and the team. Bring on Soton.

I think winning by these margins keeps an additional pressure on Chelsea and Leicester, they know there’s no room for error and as a bonus chasing down the gap in the goal difference.

Went down after that last run into the box. Then when the camera went back to him after that and after the game he still looked like he was holding his knee.
Think it looked like he was stretching some muscle, didn't look related to knee at all (and nothing from the clip suggested any knee issue). Probably just felt tight.

Good win, didn’t think we started well but we cruised to victory in the 2nd half in style. Didn’t think it was a penalty in the 1st half but can see why it was given, however we did more than enough to win the game and probably should have won by more.

Pogba, apart from 1 stupid loss of possession just strolled through that game effortlessly. Simply majestic and my MOTM.

What's great is the subs settled in seamlessly too and looked hungry to create and challenge for their spots

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Important 3 points. Get's us away from the chasing pack (6th downwards) and leaves us just 2 points from third.

Greenwood is just ridiculously talented. Great goal.

Nice to see Martial work hard for the team. His hold up play again excellent and he got an assist.

We didn't start well but it's how you end it that counts.

Greenwood knocked the stuffing out of them with our second goal and it became an absolute stroll in the second half. It was scruffy from us in the first half, it could be time for a bit of rotation against Southampton just to freshen things up a bit, but we got the job done and totally demoralised Villa with some fine play.

I'm gonna miss villa when they're in league 1 in 2 seasons. They're always a handy enough 6 points.

I don't agree with the penalty that we were given, but we were easily the better team over the 90 and created numerous good chances. 3-0 is a good scoreline but it could even have been 5 or 6 on a different night.

Loving how we are able to create more chances and play a better, more positive style of football. Even when we weren't at our very best, we won this game comfortably. I just love that forward line of Martial, Rashford and Greenwood. Such fantastic footballers.

My man if the match was Pogba. He wasn’t flashy, he was just excellent in his positional play, passing, decision making and the control he exerted in a midfield which, in fairness, had opposition that were very limited.

An absolute stroll after the penalty. Started really poorly but Villa were pathetic after that and we didn't even have to get out of third gear.

Never in doubt, job done & 3 points. Great goals by Mason & Pogs could’ve & should’ve been 6/7. Good times.

Aston Villa were on the front for the first thirty minutes and it took a non-penalty to open up, but cruised after then. Should have had five.

Another three goals and another three points. Another Bruno penalty; another good Greenwood goal; another good performance. It's becoming a regular thing.

It's enjoyable to watch just now.

Shame we didn't score more.

I think our first XI is really good, but we do lack quality off the bench that challenge the starting XI.

There's a noticeable drop almost every game when our subs come in.
