Andrey Arshavin's stunning four-goal haul, which looks to have struck a fatal blow to Liverpool's Premier League title hopes, dominates the UK's papers this Wednesday morning.
The Daily Star and the Daily Mirror are both fulsome in their praise for Arsenal's Russian striker and both papers insist his wonder goals have handed Manchester United the title.
The Daily Mail and The Times are in agreement while The Independent recollect a night 20 years ago when Arsenal visited Anfield and wrecked the locals' title dream.
In the Sun Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez accepts United are now favourites to hit a hat-trick of titles, but has refused to concede, insisting his side will battle until the last kick of the season.
While the neutrals watched a remarkable eight-goal game unfold, the Daily Express quite rightly believe the broadest grin of the night belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Elsewhere Guus Hiddink has been talking up Chelsea's chances of emulating Man Utd's historic treble of 1999.
In both the Express and Daily Telegraph the Dutch coach says that although a league, FA and European Cup treble was unthinkable when he arrived at Stamford Bridge in February, now it is a possibility.
However, despite his bullish comments, Hiddink has restated to the the Sun that he will not stay at the club beyond the end of the season, even if he does guide Chelsea to a treble.
David Moyes, the manager Chelsea's FA Cup Final opponents Everton, has told The Times and The Independent that reaching the prestigious final is a triumph for those Premier League clubs battling to bridge the wealth gap and keep pace with the top four.
On Wednesday night Everton visit Stamford Bridge for cup final dress rehearsal and Moyes is clearly still in a good mood after Sunday's semi-final win, joking that Everton's limited budget may mean trips on easyJet in European competition next season.
In transfer news the
Daily Star report that Sunderland are considering an audacious £6m double transfer swoop this summer for West Brom duo Jonathan Greening and James Morrison.
That man David Beckham is back in the papers, this time the Sun claim that the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder could join Tottenham Hotspur when the 2009 MLS season ends to maintain his match fitness for the 2010 World Cup, and point out that White Hart Lane is just down the road from where he grew up in Chingford.
It's a nice idea, but if playing close to home was a factor for Beckham you'd think that he might have baulked at the idea of moves to Madrid, LA and Milan over the years.
And finally, the Guardian claim that Alan Shearer is set to stay on as Newcastle United manager beyond the end of the season rather than stepping down to allow Joe Kinnear to return after he recovers from heart surgery.
