Manchester United beat Arsenal with a brilliant 3-1 win in the Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium.

Jose Mourinho and his squad knew going into the game that three points would be vital ahead of the Manchester derby next week.

And they managed it in some style, with two goals from Jesse Lingard plus another from Antonio Valencia.

The only downside to the game was Paul Pogba's sending off - and he will miss the match against Manchester City unless the red card is over-turned on appeal.

Striker Alexandre Lacazette was ruled out by Arsene Wenger ahead of the game but made the starting line-up and scored his side's consolation goal.

David de Gea was in brilliant form for United and earned a perfect 10 in the MEN's player ratings.

Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick all missed the fixture through injury, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were also absent.
