After losing their last two following a 22-game unbeaten streak, Unai Emery's side got back to winning ways as Aubameyang moved clear of Mohamed Salah as the Premier League's leading goalscorer.
His 11th and 12th strikes of the season were just enough to seal a 3-1 victory over Sean Dyche's battling Burnley, who got back into the game through Ashley Barnes and rattled their hosts at times before substitute Alex Iwobi scored late on.

Five goals, three points - a very happy Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Manchester United good, Cardiff poor, and it finishes 5-1.

Promising signs for Solskjaer's Manchester United, though Cardiff were pretty dire. Would Manchester United have taken them apart so comprehensively with Jose Mourinho still at the helm? I think they may still have done...
Nevertheless, a welcome return to Cardiff for the new Manchester United manager.

That's all from us here tonight after an action-packed day of footballing action. Manchester City and Chelsea faltered at home, Arsenal got back to winning ways at lunchtime and Manchester United kick-started a new era in impressive fashion this evening.
