Premier League Round-Up

Berba completing his rout 

This weekend has provided us with some brilliant spectacles as the race for the Premier League Title hots up and the battle to stay up rages on.


Manchester United and Arsenal particularly impressed this weekend with some impressive displays and Liverpool roared past a weak Wolves side to give Kenny Daglish his first win as Reds manager but Manchester City fell to a Darren Bent inspired Aston Villa. 


United produced a fine result at Old Trafford by dismantling Birmingham City 5-0, as Dimirtar Berbatov capped a stunning display with his third hat-trick of the season.


Sir Alex's side, who are still unbeaten this season, breezed past their opponents who offered nothing in front of goal and continue to languish dangerously above the relegation zone.


The return of Robin Van Persie has given Arsenal a new lease of life as he grabbed a hat-trick, helping his side climb to second with a 3-0 demolition of a woeful Wigan side. 


Wigan have keeper Ali Al Habsi to thank for keeping the score to 3-0 after the Gunners scuppered numerous chances, including a penalty miss from RVP.


Liverpool recorded their first victory of the season under Kenny Daglish, with an excellent 3-0 display at Molineux.


Spanish starlet Fernando Torres scored two vital goals has he slowly returns to form but Raul Meireles stole the show with a glorious 25-yard volley.


24 million pound signing Darren Bent marked his first appearance in a Villa shirt with the match-winner against a miss-firing Manchester City who drop to third in the table.


City bombarded Villa with a continuous assault in the second half but held on to ease the growing pressure on  manager Gerrard Houllier.
