Manchester United pipped rivals Chelsea to clinch their 17th title triumph with victory at Wigan.
Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for United from the spot after 33 minutes following Emmerson Boyce's foul on fit-again Wayne Rooney.
Emile Heskey then wasted Wigan's best chance with a second-half header.
And substitute Ryan Giggs clinched United's Premier League triumph - his 10th - with a cool finish from Rooney's pass 10 minutes from time.
It sent manager Sir Alex Ferguson dancing down the touchline in the rain at the JJB Stadium in triumph.

Ferguson will now turn his attentions to winning the Double when United face Chelsea in the Champions League final in Moscow on 21 May. More...
