For only the 5th time since the inception of the premier league the title race came down to the final day. Where it could all be won or loss in one day.

Manchester United had to first get past stoke, and pray that Wigan pulled off a miracle.

United went with their strong back line, there is never any doubt who the starters are there. Giggs and Nani started wide, while Scholes and Fletcher secured the middle, and Rooney would have to deal with Berbatov alongside him.

It only took 12 minutes for Berbatov to miss his first of the match. Brilliant service from Nani to find Berbatov and it hits off his head and over the bar. Really should have scored.

Berbatov again! In the 23rd minute Nani would find Berbatov again, this time from the opposite flank, and you guessed it! He missed again, the Bulgarian cant buy a goal at the moment!

It was all United, and it was only a matter of time before they found the back of the net. This time it was Fletcher who happend to be in the right place at the right time. A corner was fed from Giggs and Vidic headed it down into the area and after some pinball in the box, Fletcher finished.

Finally Berbatov provided something, as he laid the ball square as Nani dummied Giggs came in and slapped it first time from the PK spot to put United up 2-0 before the half. its a good goal from the United living legend.

2-0 at half

United would be given yet another own-goal this season as Danny Higginbotham tried to intercept a cross from Rooney but instead found the back of his own net.

Berbatov and Scholes would come off for Macheda and Gibson in the 62nd.

At this point everyone was getting word of the rampage Chelsea was on at Stamford Bridge. Drogba had passed Rooney in goals and was on his way to clenching the Golden Boot award.

United did not let up and continued to put the pressure on stoke even after it was certain they had been dethroned. Great professionalism from United.

With only 6 minutes left Park would give United their 4th from a corner kick.

It was all over, Uniteds reign has ended. Chelsea dismantled Wigan 8-0! Other than a hand-full of individual awards United would walk away from a season with absolutely no silverware.
