Erik ten Hag doesn't usually give much away from his technical area, but when Marcus Rashford's shot hit the back of the net 14 minutes from the end at Molineux, the Manchester United manager couldn't keep his emotions in check.
The Dutchman leapt into the air in the spacious technical areas at Wolves before punching the air and sharing the moment with his coaching staff. It might have been delight at what was just about the perfect outcome for Ten Hag after initially dropping Rashford, but it felt like more than that. This was a hard, gritty victory in a season that is gathering impressive momentum.
A third successive Premier League win moved United to within four points of Manchester City. Ten Hag and his players would have settled for that outcome at the start of the season, but Arsenal's unexpected explosion into life under Mikel Arteta has probably already taken title talk out of the equation.
