Arsenal 11-4 for title after thrashing United

ARSENAL served serious notice of their Premier League title ambitions with a comprehensive 3-0 success over Manchester United at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger’s side were cut to 11-4 to win the Premier League after moving up to second in the table following the fabulous win which was achieved thanks to a blistering first-half performance inspired by the ace Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean scored twice inside the opening 20 minutes, while Mesut Ozil was on target as United, who started the weekend top of the Premier League, were totally ripped apart.

Sanchez, now on five Premier League goals for the season, is 11-1 with Ladbrokes to win the Golden Boot, while six-goal Sergio Aguero heads the market at 10-11. United are available at 8-1 to win the title with both the Red Devils and Arsenal two points behind leaders Manchester City, who are 8-11 favourites.
