A penalty from Wayne Rooney allowed Manchester United to clinch a record 19th league title following a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Tomasz Kuszczak was a surprise inclusion in the Manchester United line-up, and it was his mistake that allowed Brett Emerton to fire Blackburn into the lead on 20 minutes. The Polish goalkeeper palmed Emerton’s initial cross into the path of Martin Olsson, who sent the ball to the back post for Emerton to volley home.
The penalty call was about 50-50 to me, although on the replay it tilted more toward Man U.
Hats off to Sir Alex it was a remarkable coaching feat the way he navigated the rapids of this season.
The big game is in a couple of weeks between Barcelona and Man U in the Champions League Finals.
