2011: Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal

Wayne Rooney hit a hat-trick and Ashley Young scored twice, while Danny Welbeck, Nani and Park Ji-Sung were also on target for the hosts.

Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie struck for Arsenal but it was a tough day for Arsene Wenger's side, who lost Carl Jenkinson to a second booking 13 minutes from time.

Man Utd, who maintained their perfect start to the season with a third win from three fixtures, climbed to the top of the table after overtaking Manchester City on goal difference.
