Premier League: Blackburn 1-1 Man United
Table of Contents
Manchester United claimed a record 19th Premier League title after a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Brett Emerton opened the scoring for the hosts when he took full advantage of one of a number of hesitant moments from Tomasz Kuszczak by turning home Martin Olsson's cross in the 20th minute.
United's breakthrough came after a moment of controversy when Javier Hernández was brought down in the area by goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Blackburn's players felt Hernández went down too lightly, and the penalty was only awarded by referee Phil Dowd after he consulted his assistant amid protests from both teams.
Wayne Rooney stepped up to take the spot kick and he kept his cool to slam past Robinson and cue wild celebrations at the final whistle.
