Beautiful. Just beautiful! Started very slowly but killed off the game with clinical finishing.

8 out of 8! We never looked like losing that, we probably could've pushed on for more but it was good game management to see it out.
Poor from whoever threw the coin at Lingard, no doubt Kroenke will be out with the metal detector searching for it tonight.

This is becoming some run. Eight wins in a row and that's including visits to Spurs and Arsenal. Excellent stuff.

A few minor grumbles at times but a cracking performance and two tough tests passed! The players ran their hearts out - great to see.

Good win.

Very underwhelming Pogba. I counted about 4 through balls he could of played through to Lingard and Rashford 2nd half, but decides to keep the ball and lose it.
You what? He was fantastic in the second half.

Very easy second half. Gave so little away. Scored another counterattacking goal at the Emirates. We’ve scored the same goal there for ten years now. That was an outstanding performance.

I love you, Ole.

Job is officially his to lose now. Only way I don't see him getting it is if we had already agreed with someone else for next season in a secret fashion or we fall apart and miss 4th by like 9 points.

Fully deserved victory. apart from last 10 minutes of 1st half we were comfortably better side and far too polished for this Arsenal team.

Get the feck in, fecking brilliant. Who would have seen this 2 months ago? Fully deserved too. Rashford and Martial subbed on while in the lead because Ole wants to kill the game, and it worked perfectly. Only one team attacking in added time too. Kept the high pressure... so happy. feck mourinho and his cnutish negative tactics, hopefully we learn from that and never ever appoint a defensive manager again.

Jenas rambling on about how good Arsenal were. As soon as they go back to the studio all 4 of them were unanimous in thinking Arsenal got schooled.

Football is full of different opinions and always has been. But I don’t think there is an opinion from anyone out there that we haven’t improved since ole taking over.

It’s just such a good feeling seeing our club look united. Bring on anyone at this point

BBC already finished coverage. That should have nothing but the World Cup and Euros.

Excellent performance by everyone. Even players who had a few dodgy moments early in the game ended up playing really well.

In your closet, in your head!
Hard to tell whether it was down to Arsenal tiring, but seemed like we gained more control over the match when Martial and Rashford came on and started pressing and hunting the ball.

Don't get me wrong, very pleased with Sanchez's and Lukaku's contributions tonight.

100 minutes, to be precise... and not very easy. But in control for sure
They never really troubled us bar the goal. We pretty easily kept them at bay and opened them up fairly easily too. There'll be much tougher matches than that.

Man, Arsenal really played into your hands there and you were helped on your way by the injuries to Sokratis and Koscielny but you were clinical when you needed to be and that's what swung the game.

Remarkable run.
Playing with a swagger now that we haven't seen in a long time. Beginning to feel unbeatable, and the defence is coming together.

It's all good.

Doing Arsenal at the Emirates 3-1 on the counter? Ole's really brought back the Fergie days! :lol:

Party tonight like its 2009.

Jenas was ridiculous and the main commentator wasn't much better

you'd think they were tearing us apart at times to listen to them

Ole could get us a good deal with the EU if he was made PM. He's made us Manchester United again. Loving this!

I can't believe this.
