United, champions 13 times since the start of the Premier League in 1992, stretched their unbeaten league run to 16 games thanks to goals in each half by Juan Mata and Anthony Martial. The fans got behind the team just before we scored the goal because we were phenomenal," United manager Jose Mourinho told the BBC. United deservedly scored when Martial was set free down the left by Henrikh Mkhitaryan and his pass was met by Mata.
