Manchester United champions of the Barclays Premier League


Manchester United 0 Arsenal 0
A nil-nil draw today at Old Trafford meant that Manchester United retained the Premier League title. This is Man Utd's 18th league title, meaning that they have equaled Liverpool's 18 sharing the 'most league titles won' record.

Arsene Wenger really fired his players up to put in a strong, professional performance to not make it easy for Man U and they did that. Sir Alex's boys reacted in their typical gritty, determined way to get the result they needed to get In the first half, Fabianski had a quiet afternoon in goal for the Gunners. In fact Dutch striker Robin van Persie could have scored for the visitors but headed over the bar from an Andre Arshavin.

In the second half, Man Utd had to work hard, with spirited performances from Tevez and Giggs. Carlos Tevez will have felt vindicated with my 'Sign him up' chants and there were jeers from the home crowd when he was subbed by Ji-Sung Park. Park got a goal that was judged to be offside but overall this was a work like performance that displayed the home team as true champions of the Barclays Premier League.
