Manchester United picked up all 3 points on
offer with a single goal at Sunderland and waited anxiously for the outcome of
the match at Manchester City where the hosts fell 2-1 behind to Queens Park
Ranger, who were a man short after the dismissal of Joey Barton, but equalised
in stoppage time and scored the winner with virtually the last kick of the
season to win the Premier League. Losers QPR, were also celebrating, after Jonathan
Walters completed his brace with a penalty at home for Stoke to force a 2-2
draw and relegation upon Bolton leaving the Londoners
with life in the top division. Tottenham defeated Fulham 2-0 at home, but
Arsenal came from behind at West Bromwich Albion, who were managed by Roy Hodgson
in his final match before taking on the England job, to win 3-2 and finish
3rd guaranteeing a place in next season’s Champions League. Emersson
Boyce scored twice for Wigan as they ended the season with a 3-2 home win over
relegated Wolves while Liverpool lost 1-0 at Swansea
in what turned out to be Kenny Dalglish’s last match in charge of the Reds, and
Newcastle lost
3-1 at Everton. Chelsea beat Blackburn 2-1 at
home while Aston Villa lost 2-0 at Norwich
before parting company with manager Alex McLeish.
In Spain
champions Real Madrid reached 100 points with their 4-1 win at home to Real
Mallorca with Özil netting twice, while ten-man Barcelona salvaged a last minute 2-2 draw at
Real Betis.
With one match remaining, Montpellier
are a point away from winning the French league ahead of PSG while Dortmund, Ajax, Anderlecht
and Porto have already won their respective
leagues.
