If football’s fortunes were determined by this game, then the Premier League title would be on its way to Arsenal.

And Aston Villa would be on their way to the Championship.

The Gunners shimmied, swayed and even showboated their way to one of the easiest 3-0 victories of the season.

If they had found this form – and some fullbacks – earlier in the season, the two halves of Manchester would have far more to worry about right now than just each other.
