A Robin Van Persie hat-trick in the first half gave the League leaders a very easy second half. The Dutchman struck after just 90 seconds with a simple tap in from a Giggs pass across the face of goal.
Wayne Rooney set up Van Persie this time with a long range pass that Van Persie could have controlled but instead chose to slam home a volley and double their lead. By the 33rd minute the striker had his treble with a smart finish from inside the 6 yard box.
