Alexis Sanchez's stunning first-half brace helped Arsenal blow away Manchester United 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium to move second in the Barclays Premier League.

The Gunners came into Sunday's encounter on the back of a disappointing home Champions League defeat to Olympiacos and with the spotlight firmly back on manager Arsene Wenger.

However, Arsenal tore United apart with two early goals in the space of 74 seconds, a backheel from Sanchez and a cool finish by German playmaker Mesut Ozil, with Sanchez cracking home a superb third to put the game to bed after only 20 minutes.

United improved in the second half, but it was too little too late.
