A game between two sides that are nowhere near where they think they should be. I thought we looked the better side in quite an open first half. United began to take control at the start of the second half, but we scored via a big deflection, grew in confidence and were the better side thereafter. Our second goal was great though. It was nice seeing us actually get to the byline and whip a cross in nice and early, instead of all of our usual arsing about. Wenger's first win over Mourinho in the league, and a win over United is always nice, whatever the circumstance.

Cech - 7. Two good saves off Martial and Rooney. Little to do otherwise.

Holding - 6. His least assured performance so far. Almost cost us a goal with a sloppy pass in the first half.

Koscielny - 7. Solid.

Monreal - 7. Solid.

Oxlade-Chamberlain - 7. Still looking good in the RWB role. Excellent cross for Welbeck's goal.

Xhaka - 7. Strong display before going off (nice actually seeing him being used correctly!). Opened the scoring via a huge deflection.

Ramsey - 7. Industrious. Made some excellent runs off the ball. Came close to scoring early on.

Gibbs - 6. Always made himself a good option up and down the left, but ultimately his delivery was poor.

Ozil - 6. Not a great first half but the second half was an improvement.

Welbeck - 7. Scored a strong header against his former club. Pretty quiet otherwise.

Alexis - 5. Struggled to make an impact. Looks like he only wants to play "his" game to be honest.

Subs:

Coquelin - 5. Looked bright when he came on.

Giroud - N/A. No impact.

Bellerin - N/A. No impact.
