Football: Brilliant Berbatov hits five to destroy Rovers
MANCHESTER: Manchester United moved top of the Premier League as an incredible five goals from Dimitar Berbatov helped Sir Alex Ferguson's side humiliate Blackburn Rovers 7-1 on Saturday.
Wayne Rooney made his first Old Trafford start since he almost left Manchester United last month, but it was Berbatov who stole the show on a memorable afternoon for the Bulgarian striker.
He became just the fourth player since the inception of the Premier League to score five goals in one game following in the footsteps of Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe as United played beautifully from start to finish.
Everton hammered by ruthless West Brom
LIVERPOOL (AFP) - Everton's stuttering Premier League campaign was dealt another hammer blow as West Bromwich Albion ran out 4-1 winners in a stormy encounter at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Defender Paul Scharner and midfielder Chris Brunt put the visitors into a two-goal lead which was halved before half-time by Tim Cahill's header.
The Toffees played the final 30 minutes with 10 men after Mikel Arteta was dismissed, and were further punished through substitute Somen Tchoyi and an own goal from Sylvain Distin.
Youssouf Mulumbu was dismissed late on for the Baggies, but it was far too late for the home team to capitalise.
