Manchester United tops the table!

Fernando Torres paid off another portion of his £26.5million transfer fee with a dazzling equaliser for Liverpool but it was only enough to secure the reds ... 1 point.

So i suggest you turn your heads to Christino Ronaldo instead, who nipped in his first hat trick of the season.

Manchester United 6 - 0 Newcastle United

Hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo led a merciless second-half destruction of crisis club Newcastle as the Red Devils soared back to the top of the table with a 6-0 rout

With Ronaldo in this mood, it is difficult to see how they can be stopped.

After a goalless opening period, the Portugal winger broke Newcastle's resistance with a low free-kick, added a startling second with a neat finish to a move involving Wayne Rooney and double scorer Carlos Tevez, then completed his first United three-timer two minutes from time.

Ferdinand was full of praise for Ronaldo.

'He's been doing it for two years now and long may it continue"

'It's about time he had a hat-trick and he's done it today.'

Ronaldo, meanwhile, added: 'It's a special day, I'm very happy for the win and going top of the league is most important.
