Good first half. Criticisms of Rashford seem a little foolish now.

Nervier than it should have been. Six straight league wins though so very happy.

Arsenal could be 3-0 up. Probably lose 3-0 now.

For the first time in his Arsenal career he doesn't have an utterly horrendous haircut and he wants to protect it.

Good half, best we've played since the first NLD.

Great result, thought we were in for a battering!

Bellerin will be a big loss if he's out for as long as it looks.

My team got pumped out of the Scottish cup 3-0 to our local rivals Raith Rovers and who are also a league below us.

I said that a draw would be a good result and fellow fans scoffed at me.

Thank strawberry float I was working and I'll pass on the highlights.

As for Man United, could Ole get them a top 4 finish and get the job? I have no love for the team but I like Ole and hope it works out for him. Arsenal looked like good team today, Chelsea need a decent striker,simple as that.

Good for Newcastle to get a win as they're my English team but a shame it was against Cardiff. I have a soft spot for Cardiff due to Sol Bamba playing for them. He's the only current EPL player to have played for my team and I simply adored him.

You're a Dunfermline man? Or Hibs but I think they skulled someone so presumably not. Brutal result today. :(

I wonder who'll manage Chelsea next...

Maurizio Sarri says Chelsea’s players are ‘extremely difficult to motivate’

• Manager furious after side’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal
• Sarri attacks lack of ‘ferocity’ among his players

I'm sure the Guardian will have said the same thing about Emery if Arsenal lost today.

Eh?

It was Sarri who was saying those things not the guardian.

I can understand his issues with strikers. But it’s not like he’s been given Andy Carroll or something.

Chelsea just remind me of Man Utd with LVG. No idea what he is doing with Kante. Kante just looks out of his depth going forward. They have no goal threat besides Hazard without talking about strikers. The midfielders and wingers don’t contribute enough.

Hibs nailed it yesterday, Ryan Gauld looks like he could be a good loan signing.

Stop talking about those sides, it’s all about the mighty Auchinleck Talbot.

Hazard. What’s up with him? At the beginning of the season, he was scoring goals and now he hasn’t.

United are creeping up into the top four and the points between four clubs are getting closer.

City have got spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea at home. And Man U away.

Liverpool have got spurs and Chelsea at home. And Man U away.

Could definitely see Man U climbing through those teams, given the difficult fixtures...assuming they keep their form going.

You can see United overtaking City and Liverpool?
