Blackpool 2-3 Manchester United

Manchester United came from two down to beat Blackpool and salvage their unbeaten record.

Craig Cathcart and DJ Campbell had threatened to inflict a first Barclays Premier League defeat of the season on the table-toppers.
Cathcart could not have picked better opponents against whom to score his first Blackpool goal, rising unchallenged to meet Charlie Adam's corner and power his team in front against his old club.
Blackpool were the better side after that and they grabbed a fully deserved second just before half-time when Campbell turned home another Adam corner.
But United hauled themselves level with two goals in three minutes.
First Dimitar Berbatov pulled one back from close range on 72 minutes and then Ryan Giggs set up substitute Javier Hernandez for the equaliser.
Berbatov snatched victory two minutes from time with his 13th goal in his last eight Barclays Premier League matches to stretch United's lead at the top of the table to five points.
