| Jesse Lingard scored a brace for Manchester United |
Manchester United returned to winning ways thanks to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Cardiff in Wales. Jesse Lingard scored twice while Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Ander Herrera all scored one each.
The display from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's boys was terrific and Manchester United fans would wish it's a beginning of another era as they move to 29 points.
Manchester United scored as many as 5 goals in a Premier League match for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson's final game for the club in 2013, 5-5 against West Brom.
Cardiff have now lost each of their last 14 Premier League matches against the big six, letting in 45 goals.
Since his debut in September 2015, Martial has been directly involved in 70 goals for United, more than any of his teammates, scoring 45 goals and 25 assists.
Rashford has been involved in nine Premier League goals for United, four goals and five assists, more than his teammates.
Manchester City slipped to their second Premier League defeat of the season, losing two of their last three Premier League matches as Crystal Palace defeated Pep Guardiola's side 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne's goals were not enough to salvage any point. City remain second with 44 points, four points behind table leaders Liverpool.
Crystal Palace won their first match at Manchester City since December 1990.
Andros Townsend has scored 17 Premier League goals and 10 has come from outside the box.
