                                                       Ashley Young          Robin Van Persie
                                                     Wayne Rooney
                                                     Wayne Rooney

                                                     Wayne Rooney
                                                       Ashley Young

This is an astonishing win for United and it shows how capable their young guns are. United had the luxury of having Ryan Giggs, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Hernandez and Park Ji Sung among the substitute and they managed to win with 6 goals margin over one of the biggest team in Premier League. 

It is also the first time United have scored 8 in a single match since 1999. It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have conceded eight in a league game since 1896.

Enjoy the pictures from the match from this post.
