United have gained 21 points this season after going behind – more than double that of any other Premier League side.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Going 1-0 down after such a short time, I think that was what we needed — we needed a wake-up call.
“It’s never easy when you travel down here, stay in a hotel, you wanted to have a light training session but we couldn’t so we needed that wake-up call really.”
And match-winner Pogba added: “I’m really glad the ball went in, it was a beautiful goal and a beautiful victory.
“That’s the most important thing.”
That beautiful goal helped United leap-Pog neighbours Man City and go back to the top of the table.
If this carries on, all roads will lead to the Premier League title for Solskjaer’s men.
