After a swift passing move involving Paul Pogba, Antonio Valencia slid the ball under Petr Cech to open the scoring at the Emirates.
Manchester United fans celebrated, well aware of what the goal entailed. The Ecuadorian scoring is often a good omen for United. In fact, the Red Devils are unbeaten in the 21 games in which the winger turned full-back has found the back of the net.
Jose Mourinho's side cruised to victory despite playing out a frenetic contest with 10 men after Pogba's dismissal, once again confirming the lucky charm that is their captain.
With the Manchester derby coming up, Mourinho may have to consider starting the former Wigan man up front...
21 - Antonio Valencia has never lost in any of the 21 previous Premier League games in which he has scored. Omen?
