Manchester United eased to another comfortable victory as they cast aside rock-bottom Crystal Palace 4-0 at Old Trafford.
The hosts got off to a perfect start when Juan Mata opened the scoring in the third minute, when he steered home a Marcus Rashford pass from ten years out.
Marouane Fellaini doubled their advantage ten minutes before the break when he slotted home an Ashley Young cross from a couple of yards out.
A third followed shortly after the break when an unmarked Fellaini home from four yards out.
Romelu Lukaku completed the rout with his seventh Premier League goal of the season with four minutes remaining.
The defeat means Palace remain pointless at the bottom of the table, yet to score a single goal. United - temporarily at least - move past their cross-town rivals City at the top of the Premier League.
David McDonnell was at Old Trafford and he has dished out his player ratings...
Manchester United
De Gea 6 - Little to do but sloppy early kick gifted Palace an unnecessary and rare sortie towards the United goal. Decent stop from Sako.
Valencia 7 - Largely untroubled down the right flank, allowing him to push forward and link up with Rashford.
Jones 7 - Continued his impressive form this season with another reliable display at the back.
Smalling 6 - Strong in the air and decent awareness throughout on his first Premier League start of the season.
Young 7 - Solid defensively and a real threat down the left flank. Provided the assist for Fellaini's first.
Matic 7 - Unusually sloppy start by his standards, giving the ball away, but recovered composure thereafter.
Fellaini 8 - Recovered from injury to play key roe in midfield and plunder United's second and third goals.
Mata 7 - Dispatched the opener with assurance and rarely misplaced a pass when in possession.
Mkhitaryan 7 - Clever movement throughout across the forward line that never allowed Palace to settled
Rashford 8 MOTM - Produced a super turn and assist for Mata's early opener. A constant threat down the left side.
Lukaku 7 - Worked hard and made some penetrating runs forward, eventually got the goal he deserved.
Subs :
Lingard 6 (Mkhitaryan, 66)
Martial 7 (Rashford, 72)
Herrera 6 (Mata, 76)
Crystal Palace
Hennessey 5 - Defence left him exposed for most of the goals and didn't deserve to shoulder the blame alone
Ward 4 - Turned by Rashford in the build-up to United's early opener. Blocked goalbound Rashford shot.
Sakho 5 - Should have done better with a header in the first-half, but failed to even get it on target.
Delaney 4 - Struggled to cope with United's attack. Fellaini got in ahead of him to head in United's third.
Van Aanholt 5 - Given a difficult afternoon throughout by Mata's clever movement and United's interchanging attack.
Milivojevic 4 - Conceded free-kick from which United scored their third and allowed Fellaini to plunder it beind him.
Townsend 5 - Produced some decent solo runs. Inexplicably conceded a corner by passing the ball straight out of play.
Cabeye 5 - Produced a decent angled pass to Sako for an angled shot that tested De Gea, but that was about it.
Puncheon 4 - Lacked any kind of influence in the midfield, no surprise he was subbed with 20 minutes remaining.
Schlupp 5 - Made a decent forward run just after the break, but lack of options and support saw it come to nothing.
Sako 5 - Cut an isolated and frustrated figure up front, with little in the way of service. Had shot blocked by De Gea.
Subs :
McArthur 5 (Schlupp 68)
Riedewald 5 (Puncheon 68)
Sako 5 (Ladapo 74)
