Making the back pages this morning, Thursday, February 20 2008:

THE SUN: Alex Ferguson hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as simply the Best after another double sent Manchester United three points clear at the top. Also: Fabio Capello is set to recall David Beckham to the England squad today.

DAILY MIRROR: Cristiano Ronaldo blasted his way into Manchester United's record books last night - with two of the Best. Also: Gus Poyet was involved in a foul-mouthed row after claiming Ashley Cole should have been sent off as Chelsea blew the chance to narrow the gap in the Premier League title race last night.

DAILY STAR: Cristiano Ronaldo responded to the honour of captaining Manchester United with a stunning two-goal blast. Also: Chelsea squandered the chance to move level with Arsenal in the title race when Robbie Keane's last-minute stunner snatched a draw for Tottenham.

DAILY MAIL: Manchester United cranked up the title pressure on another dramatic night in the Barclays Premier League. Also: Wembley was what Avram Grant now dismisses as a 'bad day' and last night the result of this spectacular match could be seen as being just as poor.

DAILY EXPRESS: Cristiano Ronaldo tore sad Bolton apart to eclipse George Best's 40-year-old goals record and take Manchester United three points clear at the top of the table. Also: Steven Gerrard will not be England's long-term captain under Fabio Capello, who is set to give John Terry his chance in the job next week.

THE GUARDIAN: If there are no more trophies to be pursued this season, Tottenham Hotspur might still take vast satisfaction from savaging Chelsea's campaign for the title. Also: The BBC and ITV will today go head to head in a battle for live Champions League football coverage that is expected to go down to the wire and could cost them as much as £70m a year for just 17 matches.

THE TIMES: David Beckham is to be named in Fabio Capello's preliminary England squad of 30 today and is poised to win his 100th cap against France in Paris next week.

THE INDEPENDENT: Eventually Avram Grant got exactly what he deserved. In a brilliant, roller-coaster of a game Robbie Keane's 88th minute equaliser capped an extraordinary tale in which Chelsea tossed away the lead three times amid more bizarre tactical decisions from their manager. Also: In his recent travels around the Premier League, Fabio Capello will have noticed one innovation that might just work for England when they face France in Paris on Wednesday. Steven Gerrard's deployment behind Fernando Torres has propelled Liverpool back into fourth place and the Italian is understood to be considering using Wayne Rooney in the same way as the Spanish striker.

DAILY TELEGRAPH: Cristiano Ronaldo led from the front last night as Manchester United extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 home victory of relegation-threatened Bolton Wanderers.
