UNITED RETAIN TITLE, AS READING AND BIRMINGHAM GO DOWN

Manchester United secured the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over Wigan at the JJB Stadium.

A Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and a late effort from Ryan Giggs were enough to secure first place as Chelsea could only draw 1-1 against Bolton.

It was a special moment for Giggs especially, scoring the clincher on the day he matched Bobby Charlton's appearance record for United.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the league Fulham completed the great escape, beating Portsmouth 1-0 at Fratton Park through a Danny Murphy header.

That win meant that Reading and Birmingham both go down with Derby despite winning their respective games today.

Reading beat Derby 4-0 whilst Birmingham won 4-1 against Blackburn, but both sides left it to late to avoid the drop to the Championship.
