Manchester United have won the English Premier League title for the second year in a row after playing a scoreless draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford.

A draw was enough for the Red Devils to become unreachable for their rivals Liverpool and Chelsea with one match day left.

Alex Ferguson’s achieved the necessary result, concentrating on defense in a match with the Gunner’s, who were eager to take revenge for the Champions League elimination earlier this month.

Park Ji-Sung scored for Man U at the 72-minute mark, but the goal was called offside. Cristiano Ronaldo threatened keeper Lukasz Fabianski with his trademark free-kick, but the game ended scoreless.

The final whistle nearly blew the roof off the packed Theater of Dreams.

Andrey Arshavin was one of the most active players in Arsenal, masterminding most of the attacks and creating chances for Robin van Persie.

The Russian playmaker got yellow carded for a rough challenge on Michael Carrick at the end of the first half.

He was substituted for Theo Walcott after 78 minutes of play and from then on Manchester had full control of the game.

United have now won eleven Premier League titles in the last 17 seasons under Alex Ferguson and are tied with Liverpool on 18 in the all-time list of English league champions.

Manchester United also triumphed in the League Cup this season and will have their shot at the Champions League trophy as they face Barcelona in the final.
