    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was hoping Mason Greenwood would get in on the goalscoring act today.

    The youngster almost does, but a low shot is straight at Alex McCarthy.

    Wolves

    Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo said: "Everything changes with the penalty, the dynamic of the game changes there. I think the referee doesn't have any other option in both situations [the penalty and the red card for Arsenal's David Luiz].

    "The goal is amazing, for Joao [Moutinho] he is such a talent player and he deserves this moment. It's a very welcome win. It means a lot, we have been in a tough moment. The beginning of the game was very difficult and Arsenal were playing very good football.

    "All achievements are good and we have done many beautiful things in past seasons and we want to emulate them again. The standards are very high and we have to chase them.

    "We cannot allow ourselves to ever put our heads down. I will not allow our players to stop believing in themselves."

    Bruno Fernandes curls wide from the edge of the area.

    He would love to get one today.

    First time since December 2011 v Fulham that Man Utd have had five different scorers in a Premier League game.

    If you can't tell a goal is offside from looking at a still picture without "visual aid" it should stand as a goal.

    Greg.

    VAR needs to go the way of the NFL. Refs make the decisions and VAR used to challenge wrong decisions. This just isn't working.

    Kevin

    How about making the offside rule more in line with the rule we use for the whole of the ball having to cross the line for it to be deemed a goal? So adapted for offside, this would be you are onside as long as any part of you is onside.

    First time since 2000-01 Man Utd have scored six goals in two Premier League games in a season (v Bradford and Arsenal).

    Poor from Daniel James, in a good position but screwing a cross wide.

    Aaahhhhhh!! Thought it was in, thought it was seven.

    Fred finds the run of Anthony Martial, the Frenchman lifts a lovely strike over the advancing Alex McCarthy but it spins the wrong side of the post.

  10. WHAT A MISS!published at 21:47 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2021

    Southampton should pull one back.

    Sub Nathan Redmond slides a pass into Che Adams' pass on the penalty spot, but the Saints striker leans back and smashes a left-footed shot over.

    While I'm getting roasted by Si, United have a sixth.

    And what a beauty it is.

    Mason Greenwood's shot is saved and it falls for Scott McTominay 25 yards out, and the midfielder drills in a superb, first-time strike into the bottom corner.

    One more for brackets.

    Re Sham's earlier post. I have no cigar.

    Old Trafford - like every other Premier League ground - operates a no smoking policy.

    He's just annoyed because I have seen more goals than he did here last week.

    And it's five!

    Bruno Fernandes back in the assists, clipping a well-weighted ball through to Anthony Martial in the box.

    The Frenchman holds off the challenge of Jan Bednarek and hammers an unstoppable finish into the roof of the net.

    Even that doesn't bring out a smile from Martial.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka is soldiering on, he is going to have to run it off, it looks like an issue with his groin.

    United have used up all three subs.

    Terry K Cooper: Seriously, just bin VAR now. That is literally the worst one I've seen so far. An absolute joke. It's not a "clear and obvious error". High level football is being totally ruined by this nonsense every week.

    Andi Brown:Can't we go back to the 'clear air' offside rule using the same VAR technology. These strikes making great runs and getting penalised. Ridiculous.

    It says something when even a one-sided 4-0 is producing such strong sentiments.

    Wrong decision from a United fan. Clearly "level" and no advantage. Surely VAR isn't even accurate to that degree anyways? The freeze frame had the ball as a blur, both on the foot and having clearly left it. There needs to be an football equivalent of "umpire's call" at the very least.

    Tom, Manchester

    Even though it's not going to affect the game that is a shocking decision. That's not even a question of VAR. That's just awful from whoever is using it. Adams is onside and they've just put the lines on. Officials letting themselves down.
