Man Utd 7 Blackburn 1

BerbaTOP..the 5 GOAL hero!!

Dimitar Berbatov joined an elite group of Premier League sharpshooters with a five-star performance as Manchester United demolished Blackburn 7-1 at Old Trafford.

Since the new league was formed in 1992, only Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe have scored five in a single game.

Berbatov joined that band on Saturday, scoring twice before half-time, then three more times after the break as United finally rid themselves of the shackles that have halted their progress this season.

It took the Bulgarian to 12 goals for the season and completed United's first seven-goal haul since the Champiosn League thrashing of Roma three years ago.

More importantly, it sent them powering to the top of the table for the first time this season, giving a significant boost to their goal difference as well at the start of a month that includes meetings with both Arsenal and Chelsea in a potentially pivotal seven-day December period.

Seven days ago, Berbatov did not even make the bench for the victory over Wigan. Ferguson declined to come up with a plausible reason for omitting his record signing, stating only that he had been left out.

In midweek came an admission from the United boss that he was responsible for changing his team formation too much, leading to a dip in form by the Bulgarian, who had carried his side through the difficult early weeks of the campaign during Wayne Rooney's malaise.

So, Rooney himself was not the only one to be glad he is back.
