Manchester United crushed Arsenal by slamming eight goals past the shell-shocked Gunners at Old Trafford. The home side's blistering fans mocked Arsene Wenger with chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" as Wayne Rooney walked off with the match ball, having scored his 150th Red Devils goal, then adding two more after half-time to complete his hat-trick.

Yet Rooney's efforts did not even account for half of United's amazing tally as they scored eight for the first time since 1999.Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young, Nani and Park Ji-sung also found the net before Young finished the rout with his second. It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have passed eight in a league game since 1896.

The result leaves Wenger staring at the biggest disaster of his 15 years at the helm. For Sir Alex Ferguson, so loud in his defence of the Frenchman pre-match, this is of slight worry. His side is yet to drop a point, as are their noisy neighbours across the city.

Highlights:

Man Utd: Rooney- (3 Goals), Young - (2 Goals) Welbeck - (1 Goal), Nani - (1 Goal), Park - (1 Goal)

Arsenal: Walcott - (1 Goal), van Persie - (1 Goal).

1.) Diego Maradona - Argentina

Match - Argentina vs England

El Diego scored goal against England in the 1986 World Cup. He takes the ball from Hector Enrique in his own half, skips past five opponent players and rounds English keeper Peter Shilton before concluding the move.


2.) Roberto Carlos - Brazil

Match - Brazil vs France

This 35 metre success from Brazilian wingback Roberto Carlos, extensively acknowledged as one of the best free kicks of all time, made several onlookers scratch their head in wonder. Carlos’ free kick seems to be curving away from goal, but cuts back in at the last.




3.) Pele - Brazil

Match - Brazil vs Sweden

Pele’s goal in the 1958 World Cup final against Sweden gets third place in this list. Pele shows enough calm to chest the ball, loft it over the inner defender and then position himself to past Swedish goalie Kalle Svensson.



4.) Lionel Messi - Barcelona

Match - Barcelona vs Getafe

The world’s best player with this goal that single handedly left Getafe’s players and coach surprised. He ran a little over 200 feet and beat six players before slotting this one in.



5.) George Weah - AC Milan

Match - AC Milan vs Verona

Weah embarks on an amazing solo run after collecting a Verona corner in his own box and gallops towards the opponent goal. He almost loses the ball around the half way mark as Verona’s defenders surround him, but manages to get it forward and finally gets into the opposition box and the ball in.
