Robin van Persie scored three times within 32 minutes, as Manchester United defeated Aston Villa, to be crowned champions of the EPL for a record 20th time.
The striker who arrived at Old Trafford from Arsenal last summer, opened scoring as early as the 2nd minute. His second – surely a contender for goal of the season – came courtesy of Wayne Rooney’s lofted pass. Van Persie applied the finishing touch with a stunning volley past Brad Guzan. the Dutchman scored again as United went in three goals up.
The home side clearly eased off in the second half, but despite some late rally from Paul Lambert’s men, United sealed their 20th League title.
