Manchester - Arsene Wenger was left facing a deepening crisis at Arsenal after hat-trick hero Wayne Rooney inspired Manchester United to an incredible 8-2 victory at Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney scored two stunning free-kicks and a penalty as United turned on the style to overtake neighbours Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
Ashley Young netted two superb strikes with the other home goals coming from Danny Welbeck, Nani and Park Ji-sung.
But for David de Gea's first-half penalty save from Robin van Persie with the scoreline at 1-0 to United, the outcome could have been so different for Wenger's young team.
Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson was sent off. Theo Walcott and Van Persie grabbed the consolation goals for the Gunners who have now not won in six Barclays Premier League matches.
It was the first time Arsenal had conceded eight goals in a league match since 1896.
