27 November 2010

DIMITAR BERBATOV was in dreamland after making Premier League history.

The Manchester United hitman bagged an astonishing FIVE goals in his side's 7-1 demolition of Blackburn.

Berbatov joins Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe as the only players to reach the landmark.

And the Bulgarian said: "I can't believe it.

"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."

Berba hit the ground running and laid down a marker with a goal after just 71 seconds.

And the former Spurs man added: "The first goal was the most important.

"It gives you the confidence to play.

"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."
