YEAH! MANCHESTER UNITED ARE CHAMPIONS!!!!
Manchester United’s 0-2 away win at Wigan confirmed United’s supremacy over the English Premier League as they won their 17th Premiership title!
The game wasn’t as lively as expected, with both teams playing possession football. The turning point of the match came as Rooney was brought down (33rd min) & a penalty was rightly awarded!
Ronaldo calmly slotted in home the crucial goal, making him the EPL’s top scorer at 31 goals!
Wigan pressed on in the second half, with United solidly defending. A draw would mean disaster as Chelsea were leading 1-0 against Bolton! Wigan’s goalkeeper Chris Kirkland parried off some good shots from Tevez & Rooney. Ryan Giggs came in for Ji Sung Park, equalling Sir Bobby Charlton’s record 758 appearances for United.
& at the 80th minute, Ryan Giggs experience paid off as he held his calm against the two incoming defenders & scored his 10th goal of the season, finally promising Man United the championship!
As for Chelsea… well, they were held 1-1 (at HOME!) by Bolton. So United have won the EPL fair & square! No need to resort to any goal difference! :P
LONG LIVE MANCHESTER UNITED!
& don’t forget… there’s the Champions League final next week! Chelsea are bloodthirsty for revenge… while United hope to accomplish another historic double!
