Arsenal and Manchester United were the biggest winners in the Premier League this weekend as a number of crunch clashes took place across the division. 

United won the Manchester derby in front of a raucous Old Trafford as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City.

Over 24 hours later, Arsenal eased past Tottenham on enemy turf to move eight points clear at the Premier League summit.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest, Southampton and Wolves won crucial relegation six-pointers while Napoli made a huge statement of intent in Italy with a 5-1 thumping of Juventus.
