Manchester United scored 5 wonderful goals against a hapless Wigan Athletic to draw level on points with leaders Manchester City on a busy afternoon of Boxing Day.
Ji Sung Park opened the scoring in the 8th minute before Berbatov made it 2-0 before the break. Conor Sammon was sent off for a wild attack on Carrick's face. Weird!
At the hour mark, Berbatov added another one to embarass Wigan as the Old Trafford crowd could sense a big victory coming. The players didn't disappoint them as Valencia scored at 75th minute before Berbatov completed his hat-trick by striking an elegant penalty to fox Wigan keeper.
This is a massive win, specially because last time we beat Fulham by the same scoreline. Are we going to see another 5 goal thriller against Blackburn on Dec 31?
Check out this video to watch how Manchester United scored all their 5 goals against Wigan.
United have now scored 16 goals in four straight league victories to pose a serious title challenge and narrow the goal difference between the two Manchester teams.
What really impressed me was we were able to score so freely given the makeshift nature of our team that Sir Alex put today.
I now want to see United score another 5 against Blackburn and hope Sunderland beat City so we can claim the top spot on the 1st day of 2012 and retain it till the end of the season.
