Berbatov treble puts United level with City

Dimitar Berbatov fired Manchester United level on points with Manchester City as his hat-trick inspired a 5-0 win over 10-man Wigan, while the Premier League leader was held to a 0-0 draw at West Brom on Monday.

Berbatov has been a bit-part player for long periods this season but the Bulgarian striker seized a chance to replace the rested Wayne Rooney with a clinical treble and further goals from Park Ji-Sung and Antonio Valencia destroyed third bottom Wigan.

Rare setback

United's five-goal spree — its second in six days after a 5-0 win over Fulham — means City is now top only on goal difference after Roberto Mancini's side suffered a rare setback at the Hawthorns.

City, which was five points clear of United earlier this month, enjoyed most of the possession, but couldn't find a way past Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster with Mario Balotelli hitting the woodwork and also having a goal disallowed.

At Old Trafford, Sir Alex Ferguson played midfielders Valencia and Michael Carrick in defence, but Park put the host ahead in the eighth minute when the South Korea midfielder converted Patrice Evra's cross.

United got another boost when Wigan striker Conor Sammon was harshly dismissed for an elbow on Carrick just before half-time.

Clinical finish

The champion took full advantage as Berbatov increased the lead with a clinical finish in the 41st minute.

Berbatov added his third goal in two games with another cool strike from Valencia's pass in the 58th minute.

Former Wigan star Valencia struck in the 75th minute and Berbatov completed his treble from the penalty spot three minutes later after Park was tripped by Antolin Alcara.

Major blow for Chelsea

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's title hopes suffered another major blow as Clint Dempsey's equaliser gave Fulham a 1-1 draw against its west London neighbour.

A third successive draw means even a place in the top four can't be taken for granted as Chelsea will slip to fifth if Arsenal beat Wolves on Tuesday.

Andre Villas-Boas's spluttering side took the lead two minutes into the second period when Spanish playmaker Juan Mata drilled his shot past Stockdale. But Martin Jol's side punished sloppy Chelsea defending to equalise in the 56th minute as American midfielder Dempsey tapped in a Bryan Ruiz cross.

“The title will be pretty difficult now,” Villas-Boas admitted. “It would have been a good December for us if we'd finished with six points from two home games, but taking this draw into account it makes it difficult now. You have to be realistic.”

Liverpool's challenge for a Champions League place was dented as struggling Blackburn earned a 1-1 draw an Anfield.

Rovers, beaten in its previous three matches, took the lead in first half stoppage time when Reds midfielder Charlie Adam deflected Morten Gamst Pedersen's corner into his own net.

Maxi Rodriguez equalised with a header from Martin Skrtel's flick in the 53rd minute and Reds boss Kenny Dalglish sent on England midfielder Steven Gerrard, finally back from an ankle injury, for the final 20 minutes.

But Liverpool has now won just one of its last six home league games after Rovers' goalkeeper Mark Bunn made a series of fine saves to give boss Steve Kean some breathing space.

Newcastle back on track

Newcastle surged back into the race for a top four place with a 2-0 win at struggling Bolton.

Alan Pardew's side had failed to win any of its previous six matches but it got back on track to move within four points of fourth- placed Chelsea, thanks to second half goals from Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba.

Bolton remains second bottom after its sixth defeat in seven matches.

The results: Bolton 0 lost to Newcastle 2 (Ben Arfa 69, Ba 71).

Chelsea 1 (Mata 47) drew with Fulham 1 (Dempsey 56).

Liverpool 1 (Maxi 53) drew with Blackburn 1 (Adam 45-og).

Manchester United 5 (Park 8, Berbatov 41, 58, 78-pen, Valencia 75) bt Wigan 0.

Sunderland 1 (Colback 26) drew with Everton 1 (Baines 51-pen).

West Brom 0 drew with Manchester City 0.
