CHAMPIONS UNITED! Manchester United successfully defended her Premiership title this afternoon at the JJB Stadium after beating Wigan by two goals to nil.
A Christiano Ronaldo's penalty and Ryan Giggs' sidefoot in each half game Sir Alex Fergurson's side all three points to finish two points ahead of second placed Chelsea who only managed a one all draw at home to Bolton.
It was a case of deja vu at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea's title ambition was stopped by the same side who forced them to a two all draw towards the end of last season to hand the title to United.
It is United's tenth title under Sir Alex's reign.
Everton sealed fifth spot after a 3-1 defeat of Newcastle.
Fulham left it till late on to climb out of relegation. Needing to match Reading's result, the London's side visit to Pompey was turning into a nail biting affair after news of Reading unassaible lead at Derby, and Birmingham lead over Blackburn filtered in.
However, a dramatic twist came with fourteen minutes left when Danny Murphy's headed goal off a Jimmy Bullard free kick ensured the Cottagers would remain in the top flight next season.
