Berbatov goes home smiling

(20-09-2010) Dimitar Berbatov hailed Sunday his “best day in a United shirt” after bagging a hat-trick against Liverpool and receiving a standing ovation from the Old Trafford faithful. The Bulgarian scored all three goals in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over their fiercest rivals. It was the first time any United player has scored three goals against Liverpool since Stan Pearson in 1946, some 64 years ago. "It was probably my best day in a United shirt," said Berbatov afterwards. "Obviously I am happy. I am going home with a smile on my face. But I am nothing special. I am going home to play with my kids." Earlier, United had thrown away a two goal lead before Berbatov popped up to head home six minutes from time. Berbatov has scored seven goals this season.
