IAN LADYMAN: Chelsea were largely superior from the start. The conditions may have been awful but initially the Premier League club only seemed to be affected whenever they reached the penalty area.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Benjamin Sesko was already showing signs of becoming a proper Manchester United player before Michael Carrick walked through the door. So the current United manager can't quite claim the credit for that one. But Carrick can throw his hat on the growing feeling at Old Trafford that a season can turn permanently for the better and it was to absolutely nobody's surprise that his team retrieved a lost cause via Sesko's outstretched boot five minutes in to added time here in east London. This was not a particularly good United performance and had they lost to Tomas Soucek's 50th minute goal then they could not have complained. After recent days of adrenaline at Old Trafford‚ Carrick's team were a little flat back out on the road again.

IAN LADYMAN AT OLD TRAFFORD: Whatever is to happen in the future‚ there is an unmistakable Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vibe about what Michael Carrick is doing at Manchester United. Three games‚ three wins and more excitement packed in to five hours of Premier League football than Ruben Amorim managed to deliver in more than a year. Solskjaer did this once‚ remember. When the Norwegian stepped in to the breach for his club after the sacking of Jose Mourinho in 2018‚ he won his first eight games. If Carrick comes anywhere near that - given that they will all be Premier League matches - United will stand on the brink of Champions League qualification. It's that simple for Carrick. That's what he is here for‚ whether he eventually gets the big job or not. To leave United in a better place than in which he found them. And if he can provide thrills and spills like this as he does it then he it will be quite a ride for anyone who carries United in their heart.

IAN LADYMAN AT TURF MOOR: As Thomas Frank made the long walk to Turf Moor's corner tunnel at half-time‚ the verdict from the Tottenham fans was delivered by way of traditional and unoriginal verse. 'We want Frank out‚' they sang. Briefly they stopped in order to clap some of their players from the field but it was a temporary reprieve. And that's how football works. Give the players a pass and blame the manager.

IAN LADYMAN: The day you take criticism of your performances so personally that you seek validation through conversation is the day you may wish to reassess your priorities and focus as an athlete. As we have detailed on Daily Mail Sport before‚ criticism from ex-players tends to land pretty heavily in the home dressing room at Old Trafford. 'It p****s them off‚' a United source told me recently. In terms of the Class of 92 and others such as Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney‚ it is understood that they are comfortable with what they say.

IAN LADYMAN: This was a thunderingly competitive derby at times‚ a game of intensity‚ feeling and occasional spite. On the TV gantry and in the podcast studios‚ the coterie of former Manchester United players who have been central to the news agenda recently must have loved it. 'It's a daarby.' Former United captain Roy Keane likes to say‚ the Irish accent deepening in direct parallel to his habitual disapproval of most of what he watches at Old Trafford. Well this one looked like one and felt like one. Keane would have been at home in it.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY IAN LADYMAN: Elliot Anderson always knew he was a good footballer. He couldn't ignore the evidence. He was on the books of Newcastle United from the age of eight.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: Sitting in the stand serving a one-game suspension‚ Pep Guardiola was completely impassive as his team's tenth goal went in. Sometimes the FA Cup baffles even those who have grown used to it. On the same day that Macclesfield Town had showcased the famous old competition beautifully‚ Exeter City from three divisions higher were rolled over in embarrassing fashion just a few miles up the road at the Etihad Stadium. This equalled a modern record for City when it comes to biggest wins. They stuck eight past Salford City this time last year but here they punished Exeter with ten strikes of the whip to match a rather famous 10-1 demolition of Huddersfield Town from 1987.

IAN LADYMAN AT TURF MOOR: In the away end they sang Darren Fletcher's name. They sang those of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick too‚ though‚ so in terms of a popularity contest among those keen on leading Manchester United until the end of the season‚ it was hard to call a winner. What would have helped Fletcher - manager for the night here in Lancashire - was a victory. Nothing strengthens a CV quite like Premier League points and for a while Fletcher will have thought he had three. Poor early on and behind to an Ayden Heaven own goal‚ Fletcher's United had recovered impressively to lead after an hour thanks to two terrifically taken goals from the hitherto hopeless United centre forward Benjamin Sesko.

IAN LADYMAN: Another home game gone for Tottenham and another defeat to mark on 2025's dismal ledger. That's just two home wins out of nine in the Premier League this season - against Burnley and Brentford - and 11 league defeats in front of their own supporters since the start of the calendar year. A Spurs home ticket is one of the most expensive in the land. No wonder those who continue to turn up do so more in vain hope than any kind of expectation.

ASTON VILLA 2-1 MAN UNITED - IAN LADYMAN AT VILLA PARK: As his manager threw his coat in the air in rapturous celebration and Morgan Rogers celebrated what transpired to be the winning goal at the Holte End‚ team-mate Amadou Onana placed an imaginary crown on his head. It felt entirely appropriate. Everything Rogers touches right now turns to goal. Two here to finish off a Manchester United team that actually played quite well followed the two that did for West Ham in London a week earlier. Rogers is the king of the midlands right now and the closer we get to the next World Cup‚ the tighter grows his hold on the number ten position in Thomas Tuchel's England team. Here the 23-year-old lit up what was actually one of Aston Villa's most modest recent performances. This was Premier League victory number ten on the spin and Unai Emery's team deserve their third place in the Premier League.

IAN LADYMAN: At Stamford Bridge on Sunday‚ Chelsea and Arsenal played out a compelling draw in the Premier League and it would appear Enzo Maresca is slowly building a team worthy of the club's competitive reputation in his second season. The Chelsea coach can perhaps give it a rest when it comes to complaints about foul play from the opponents‚ though. The way his players rolled around on the turf at the Bridge‚ it's hard to tell who is really hurt‚ who is a little bit hurt and who just needs to grow up a bit.

IAN LADYMAN: The wind whipped hard outside Liverpool 's training ground today. Whether it's the type capable of blowing a man out of a door remains to be seen. Shortly before 3pm‚ a little early perhaps to get the whole thing out of the way‚ the man trying to walk through a storm ambled into a room with his hands in his pockets and sat down.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE EMIRATES: A statement performance from Arsenal yielded a statement win. Beating a meek and mild Tottenham in the north London derby is one thing‚ downing a hot and hungry Bayern Munich three days later quite another. Vincent Kompany's German champions arrived in London wearing a cloak of invincibility. Arsenal tore it from them and hung it from the ramparts of Fortress Emirates. Bayern‚ unbeaten all season‚ were given a lesson here. Arsenal were quicker‚ stronger and largely just better.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY IAN LADYMAN: We meet in a cafe in north London‚ about half a mile away from the stadium where set-pieces and long throws are suddenly back in vogue. Have Arsenal really reinvented the wheel‚ then?

International breaks may have provided an answer or two for their detractors of late - or in the case of Scotland's thrilling World Cup qualification‚ four - but few supporters will be able to deny their excitement about the return of the Premier League this weekend. Daily Mail Sport experts Lewis Steele‚ Riath Al-Samarrai‚ Kieran Gill‚ Isaan Khan‚ Ian Ladyman sat down to discuss the big talking points.

IAN LADYMAN: So Thomas Tuchel 's England have the perfect score they wanted from eight games of World Cup qualifying. Eight wins and eight clean sheets. That's quite some record to take with them to next summer's World Cup and is doubtless more than anything the England coach could have hoped for when he set out on this journey at the start of the year.

IAN LADYMAN AT WEMBLEY: Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze ensured England signed off their penultimate World Cup qualifier with a deserved 2-0 victory over Serbia‚ despite Thomas Tuchel's side having already secured their place at the 2026 tournament. Saka willingly answered Tuchel's calls for him to score more goals in an England shirt‚ scoring a wonderful‚ volleyed shot to find the back of the net in the 28th minute. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden‚ who were both left out of Thomas Tuchel's starting line-up‚ were introduced late on after the England boss' claims that the pair and Harry Kane cannot all fit into the same side together.

IAN LADYMAN: We now live in a world where nothing is good enough and no complaint is too late or too loud. A referee's on field decision is not deemed acceptable until it's been verified by some men in a van in a car park in west London. But they have been found to be human too so we don't madly trust them either. And that has led us to here‚ to a place where a club like Liverpool feels compelled to complain to the Premier League about a decision that involves a nuanced and subjective interpretation of the offside law.

MAN CITY 3-1 BOURNEMOUTH - IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: There are those who rather stupidly say that Pep Guardiola has ruined football and then there are those who open their eyes to watch Erling Haaland play and realise they would pay to watch him all on his own. Haaland - Guardiola's extraordinary centre forward - did not win this game for Manchester City by himself. But he did bring it much of its joy and its wonder‚ rampaging through the middle like a bull in a blonde wig‚ turning possibilities into certainties and adding two more goals to a season's tally that now stands at 26 for club and country. A reminder here that it is only the start of November. So this was another bravura performance from City's striker and a victory that takes his team not exactly on to Arsenal's shoulder in second place but at least close enough for their presence to be definitively felt. If anybody thinks Arsenal's first Premier League title since the great days of Arsene Wenger will be won without inconvenience‚ they are likely to be very wrong indeed.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE EMIRATES: Atletico Madrid tried to start a phoney war by moaning about cold showers at the Emirates on Monday night but could only wilt in the heat of Arsenal's heavy artillery when the real stuff started here in north London. Diego Simeone's team were trying it on with all that complaining the night before the game. Arsenal suspect they hadn't even intended to use the facilities at the Emirates. But if it was a battle of wits they were looking for‚ they got one and came out on the wrong side of it. Then‚ when it came to the football‚ they found themselves embarrassed there‚ too. On the sideline wearing a black suit and a deep frown‚ Simeone presented as a coach who had come here to use one trick too many and found himself outsmarted‚ out thought and out played.

IAN LADYMAN: Every player is allowed a poor game and Van Dijk certainly had one against Manchester United . At one point I wondered if he had given his shirt and boots to his twin brother. But it was Keane's comments about 'looking in the mirror' that struck a chord with me.
