Premier League: Man United crowned champions courtesy of Robin van Persie

Manchester United won their 20th league title in style as Robin van Persie scored a sensational first-half hat-trick in a 3-0 victory over troubled Aston Villa.

After the final whistle, Ferguson was in no doubt about his club's strengths over the past two decades while he has been manager. He told Sky Sports: "At the end of the day, our consistency for the last 20 years has been unbelievable." Meanwhile, Van Persie, whose second goal was described by Ferguson as the best of the Century, wanted to share the credit. The Dutchman said: "It does not matter who scored, as long as we won the game."
