Five-goal Berba in dreamland

(28-11-2010) Dimitar Berbatov was on cloud nine after his five goal haul in Manchester United’s 7-1 romp against Blackburn on Saturday. This saw the Bulgarian hitman join Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe as the only players to net five times in an EPL match. "I can't believe it,” said Berbatov, who had gone ten games without a goal leading into the match. "I have scored that many before but it was a long time ago back home in Bulgaria. Today I did it in the Premier League. To stand next to people like Cole and Shearer is a great honour." He also took a turn to hit out at his critics. “As a striker, people do tend only to look at the goals you score. I am more concerned with how I play but today was all about goals for me."
