And with that, we're wrapping up this live blog. Thanks for sticking with us. It was a good game in the end, wasn't it?
The main takeaway for me is that Spurs, on this evidence, will probably be okay. I think there's a lot of wishful thinking for their demise, but they've put in a good performance for pretty much the whole game there.

Nearly 700 of you have written in over the course of this blog - thanks so much for your participation.
It's safe to say you lot were BRUTAL on Manchester United. Lots of Arsenal fans in the comments.
Some of the highest-rated comments from tonight:

Gary Neville has warned that Manchster United's season could quickly go from bad to worse if they don't sort themselves out.
He told Sky Sports: 'They are going to have to get a grip because they are going to Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid and Elland Road [soon].
'If you're not quite right there from a mental and physical perspective, you're going to get found out.
'They've got a couple of days to recover, pick themselves up from this, and get going because if they don't get going, it's going to be a worrying few weeks.'

Did you know that Man United are actually more cursed when they're playing against ten men?
In the last three games where the opposition have had a man sent off, they've drawn one and lost two.
It's quite a small sample size, really. But does it point to a growing psychological issue?

One of our colleagues, Mike Keegan, has raised an interesting point on X.
'United haven’t been great by any stretch but boos from an Old Trafford crowd seems unfamiliar. Is that the result of more tourists in the stadium, or is it fed-up locals?'
What do you think? Are tourist fans more inclined to air their frustrations?

Rio Ferdinand didn't have much to say after Dominic Solanke's goal, but he did blurt out this.
'Oh ffs.'
Sums up the mood.

Former Manchester United Premier League winner Alan Smith says the club should not 'panic' under Michael Carrick despite their dismal start to the season.
'I don't think there's any panic, and I still think there should be optimism,' he told Daily Mail Sport via Sports Betting Apps.
'I think that it’s been improving. He brings a calmness to the club.
'Man United, again, are still finding their feet, they've signed players who've barely even played yet.
'So the start can be a little bit misleading based on results, rather than what they should have got out of games. I don't think anybody would be getting too carried away, or too disappointed with what's going on.'
Do you agree? Has Carrick brought calm to the club?
To me, it doesn't feel as much of a circus as it did under Ruben Amorim... but on the pitch, so far this season, things are just as bad!

'We played very well against a great team. We had total control over the game and many chances to score,' he told Sky Sports.
'I'm very happy because I've seen the right spirit and character. We dominated the game.
'I kissed Bentancur in the dressing room. We need this type of character. Football is character.
'If we play like today, we're going to win many games.
'There are not too many strikers better than Solanke. He deserved to be captain.'

It turns out we can get the thoughts of Gary Neville - he must have been recording his podcast.
'Tielemans and Mainoo, we've seen enough of it now. That's not a midfield that's not dynamic enough to play for this club in the Premier League. Things looked more lively when Baleba came on,' he told Sky Sports.
'If they don't get going, it's going to be a worrying few weeks.'
