All the key reaction

Before you read the reaction, you need to watch the highlights.

Norwich boss Dean Smith told the BBC: "I have used a tennis terminology in the dressing room to describe our performance - it was littered with unforced errors.

"We gave two soft fouls away for two soft goals at the end. We cannot drop our standards from two games ago against Manchester United to today's showing."

Norwich 0 - 5 Arsenal

One Norwich fan tweeted a passionate response to the tweet below: "Complete and utter waste of time supporting this club. We fail time and time again in the Premier League, getting worse and worse each time. And while we do well in the Championship, there's no point enjoying it when we know exactly what it will lead to. What's the point?"

Another added: "Perhaps we do need new players in January. What is the point in being in the Premier League if we are not good enough to win any games. I think it’s such a shame that how this football club has run. The Championship is lot better."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also spoke with the BBC: "It's a very satisfying result because in this festive period we have to keep performances to a high level."

"We looked really sharp and committed. It's a big win for us. I am really pleased. The amount of chances we create is pleasing."

An Arsenal fan told us: "It was another superb performance. We are playing well at the moment. The rest of this season could be very exciting."

The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager.
