Manchester United firmed their grip on second place in the Premier League and is back within three points of leaders Manchester City after they had too much for Arsenal at the Emirates and ran out 2-1 winners.
Here, we look at the United players on display and award their marks out of 10.
After a very quiet and largely uneventful first half—save for Phil Jones' awkward-looking injury—United came to life in injury time and took the lead thanks to an Antonio Valencia header from Ryan Giggs' cross.
Arsenal was better in the second period and, after Robin van Persie had spurned a gifted chance to equalise, did get itself back on level terms with an equaliser from the same man.
At that point it looked like the home team would go on to claim the three points—but Danny Welbeck got the all-important third goal of the game to send the away fans home happy instead.
