Comments:

League position: 2nd This victory ended Arsenal's run of eight Premier League games without a win against Manchester United (lost five). They had won just one of their last 13 league games against United. They also equalled their biggest-ever Premier League win over United (3-0 at Highbury on 20 September 1998). It was the first time they had scored three goals in a Premier League game against the Red Devils since 25 November 2001 (won 3-1). The Gunners had only won two of their preceding seven home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was the first time that Manchester United had conceded three goals within the first 20 minutes of a Premier League game. The previous record was 36 minutes at Aston Villa on the opening day of the 1995-96 season. Prior to this game, United had kept clean sheets in four of their seven Premier League games in 2015-16.
