'Unai's at the wheel!': Arsenal mock Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Emery ends Man Utd run

Arsenal celebrated their crucial 2-0 win over Manchester United by adopting one of their rivals’ favourite terrace chants.

Goals from Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sent the Gunners into the top four, inflicting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first domestic defeat as United boss.

United fans have been singing the Norweigan’s praise with a chant to the tune of the Stone Roses’ hit Waterfall.

The song has become the theme tune to United's revival under Solskjaer, with fans and players adopting the opening line - 'OIe's at the wheel' - as something of a slogan.

However, after the victory at the Emirates, the Gunners official Twitter account modified the lyric to suit their own manager, Unai Emery, who is closing on securing a return to the Champions League in his first season at the club.

The Spanish boss was rewarded for an attacking team selection as United missed several good chances, and Arsenal are now just a point behind north London rivals Tottenham in third.
