Arsene Wenger finally claimed a win over his old enemy Jose Mourinho as Arsenal snapped United's underwhelming unbeaten streak by beating them 2-0.

Swiss enforcer Granit Xhaka gave the Gunners the lead through a deflected long-range effort, before United old boy Danny Welbeck sealed the win with a header against his former side.

Victory keeps them in touching distance to United and City as they continue their pursuit of Champions League football, while also having a game in hand.
