Manchester United is the Champions of English Primer League.
Chelsea 1 Bolton 1.
FINAL WHISTLE - Manchester United 2 Wigan 0.
79:00 - GOAL UNITED: That’s clinched the title for the visitors - and it’s Giggs who seals it. The substitute is picked out by Rooney’s perfect through ball and he slides it past Kirkland to surely confirm another Premier League crown.
GOAL - RONALDO SCORES: Ronaldo puts the ball down and places the ball to Kirkland’s left. The Wigan keeper goes the wrong way and United are in the lead.
31:00 - PENALTY: Rooney goes down under the challenge of Boyce. It looked a little clumsy but the England man certainly made the most of it. Steve Bennett is in no doubt and points to the spot.

On a magical night, before an Old Trafford crowd at their raucous best, the champions of England set up a all-English Champions League final through the brilliance of an Englishman, Paul Scholes.
Scholes’ goal also vindicated Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to rest him against Chelsea on Saturday. Now United will meet the winners of this evening’s meeting between Chelsea and Liverpool in Moscow on May 21
These were the situations Scholes adores, a yard of space just outside the box, a glimpse of an unprotected goalkeeper as defenders vainfully sought to man the barricades. The gift of possession had been kindly donated by Barcelona, by Gianluca Zambrotta, a World Cup-winning full-back bizarrely turning into a hung-over Sunday league player. Having gained the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian inexplicably hit it blind across his area. Scholes had his chance. That right foot thudded into the ball, sending it flying past Gabriel Milito and then curling away from Victor Valdes in the Barcelona goal. Sensational.
