Manchester United got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Cardiff, Juan Mata playing a part in the build up to both goals which were scored by Van Persie and Young.

Red Devils boss David Moyes was in much better form than in recent weeks when he spoke with the press afterwards.

Arsenal remain top but only but only by two points following last nights 2-all draw away with Southampton.

Manchester City will overtake the north Londoners if they beat Tottenham tonight at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal also had Mathieu Flamini sent off late on at St Mary's.
