Red Devils Once Again Champions of EPL
Manchester United are once again champions of EPL, it was achieved the hard way, with a nail-biting goalless draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
United fought off nearest challengers Liverpool to clinch it on the penultimate weekend following a 0- 0 draw at home to Arsenal on 16th May 2009.
Arsenal were retaining possession with more authority than their hosts, and Sir Alex Ferguson responded by throwing Ji-sung Park into the fray, at the expense of Tevez. The Park soon had the ball in the Arsenal net, bursting through and swapping passes with C.Ronaldo before tapping in, only for the goal to be ruled offside. Arsenal came even closer with six minutes remaining. Another fine long pass ball reaching Fabregas, and the shot took the merest of punch from Van der Sar’s fingertips before rattling against the outside of the post.
United were simply running down the clock. The final whistle once again, success had been reached. It was the Red Devils’ 18th championship overall and the achievement draws them level with Liverpool.
