This weekend Manchester turned the music on against Blackburn thrashing them 7-1 at Old Trafford. Five goals from Dimitar Berbatov will make people forget about Wayne Rooney’s midweek penalty. A late consolation goal from Christopher Samba was all Blackburn got out of the game, alongwith a ‘-6’ for the goal difference.

That is quite a beating for the Rovers, who are now on 15th position on the English Premier League table. United, however, are now the leaders but Chelsea have a game in hand and they need a win to level points.

Arsenal is currently second with 29 points but they will drop to third even if Chelsea only manages a draw against Newcastle tomorrow.
