Man Utd are Champions. Won a record-breaking 20th league title

Robin van Persie scored a first-half hat-trick as Manchester United won a record-breaking 20th league title in style with a commanding 3-0 win over Aston Villa in a match played this evening.

The Dutchman slotted home from two yards inside two minutes before latching on to Wayne Rooney's 50-yard pass to score one of the goals of the season with a stunning volley from outside the area. The hat-trick was completed after just 33 minutes with a neat finish from six yards after more fine work from Ryan Giggs. Jonny Evans and Phil Jones were preferred in central defence, while Giggs partnered Michael Carrick in the center of the pitch in just two changes from the side who drew 2-2 with West Ham.
