Berbatov scored five goals against Blackburn Rovers

The Premier League has dropped a couple of shades of quality this season. Everything seemed to indicate about a month ago that it was his turn to Chelsea to win the trophy, but within weeks the Blues have fallen apart and have seen United and Arsenal already have surpassed in the standings. The Red Devils have taken a knock on the table in recent days. Especially in the latter, in which they thrashed Blackburn Rovers by seven goals to one.

Everything was ready at Old Trafford for the prodigal son, Wayne Rooney to score in the league again. The 'bad boy' of Liverpool wanted to demonstrate in the field which has demonstrated in the offices, that is the emblem of the United. Blackburn Rovers was a tempting prey, while a Bulgarian slipped in Rooney's party. His name is Dimitar Berbatov, and scored no less than five goals.

As you pointed Laligaennúmeros on Twitter, this is the fifth player in the history of the Premier League scoring five goals in one match, after Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe. A historical record that comes to praising the irregular figure of the front right in the moment that Rooney works hard to catch up over a month after missing in action.

Blackburn Rovers is a humble team that makes the order one of their features. For this reason, surprisingly, they conceded a defeat so alarmamte in a week that had just as an example to the Premier as a model competitive with the league after they won 0-8 at Almeria Barcelona. Indeed, this rout does a disservice to this position, although it is undeniable that in England there is much more equal than in Spain.

The United went into halftime with a score of three to zero, and after the break the bulldozer did not yield even one meter. All local players mark Rooney wanted to increase the English offensive background this season (three goals in all competitions, including two penalty). But Berbatov slipped in between. Rooney will have to wait. As Chicharito, that not even played a few minutes in the second half.
