GLORY GLORY MAN UTD



WIGAN 0 2 MAN UTD


CHELSEA 1 1 BOLTON





Manchester United sealed their 10th Premier League title in 16 years with a 2-0 win against Wigan Athletic.On the day he equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 758 first-team appearances, Ryan Giggs scored the second goal late on to seal a nervous victory. Cristiano Ronaldo gave United a first-half lead with a disputed penalty - his 31st league goal of the season.



Bolton's injury-time equaliser against Chelsea meant United ended with a two-point cushion, but the result at Stamford Bridge was rendered irrelevant thanks to the Reds' vastly superior goal difference. Chelsea proved no less efficient at achieving results, but their inability to produce the fantasy football demanded by Roman Abramovich eventually proved fatal to their title hopes - and could also sound the death knell for Avram Grant's reign as manager.


They will regroup ahead of the Champions League final - against United - in Moscow in 10 days' time.
