Manchester United closed the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea to two points with a 5-0 rout of Wigan, while Arsenal are also firmly in the title race after thrashing Portsmouth 4-1 on Wednesday.

In the last Premier League games of the decade, it was fitting that United and Arsenal - who have enjoyed more success than most over the last 10 years - should produce resounding victories.

Reigning champions United, second in the table, were far too strong for Wigan and bolstered their goal difference in emphatic fashion at Old Trafford.
