Robin van Persie hit a first-half hat-trick as Manchester United cantered to an unprecedented 20th English league title with an emphatic 3-0 victory at home to Aston Villa last night.
Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils got the job done with four games to spare.
Van Persie netted inside 90 seconds and then scored a breath-taking volley before completing his hat-trick 12 minutes before half-time.
Van Persie now leads Luis Suarez by a goal in the top scorers' chart, to further blacken the Liverpool striker's mood after he was
charged by the Football Association for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic on Sunday.
