Manchester United are tied on points with Manchester City at the top of the Barclays Premier League table after a commanding 2-0 win over Stoke City at Old Trafford.
Penalties from Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov were enough to see off the opposition, and the scoreline arguably flattered Stoke as United dominated possession and should have scored more.
While United strolled to victory over Stoke, Darron Gibson gave his former club a valuable gift, scoring the winner for Everton against Manchester City. Those two results means only goal difference separates the two Manchester clubs in an enthralling title race.
These five takeaways from the win over Stoke City should boost the morale of the United faithful ahead of a key fixture against Chelsea on Sunday, with the team showing that they are beginning to find top gear.
