Manchester achieve league and cup doubleUnited win 19th title while City bag the FA Cup

They will be partying in the streets of Manchester tonight as both United and City claimed the Premier League and FA Cup titles today.
Earlier in the day Manchester United were at Ewood Park against struggling Blackburn Rovers. United needed a point to secure a record breaking 19th Premier League title. Blackburn needed something out of the game if they wanted to secure Premier League football and escape the relegation fight.
The game started badly for Tomasz Kuszczak and in the 20th minute gifted Blackburn the lead. A Brett Emerton cross wasn't gathered cleanly by the duputising goalkeeper and the ball found Martin Olsson who fired the ball across the goal for Emerton to put it in the back of the net.
For ten minutes after the goal United looked shaky as Blackburn threatened to double their lead but as half time arrived the home side were only one goal to the good and as United only needed a point, destiny was still in their hands.
In the second half Blackburn again had a chance to double their lead and were unlucky not to do so in the 65th minute. Again Emerton caused problems and his cross found Olsson and his header hit the post. After that Manchester United found their game and started to cause problems then in the 73rd minute Hernandez ran towards goal and although he miscontrolled the ball Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson brought the Mexican down and the referee Phil Dowd pointed to the spot.
Wayne Rooney, who almost left United in January, put the ball on the spot and sent Robinson the wrong way.
It seemed after that both sides were happy with a point and when the ref called time it was party time for the Red Devils.

With United claiming the Premier League title Manchester City had their chance to win their first title for 35 years with a win against Stoke City and they dominated from the first minute. Mario Balotelli, so often criticised was inspirational in all he did and David Silva was finding some form and with returning captain Carlos Tevez pulling the strings it looked like City would win at a canter but Stoke were battling and wasn't giving up but they just couldn't find a way past the City defence, in fact in the 34th minute City had a chance to take the lead. Mario Balotelli's shot was blocked by Sorenson in goal and the ball found the little Spaniard and all he could do was hit the ball over from 8 yards.
At half time it remained 0-0 and Stoke was still in the game but City were still dominating and even though the Stoke supporters tried to rally their troops they couldn't get into the game and in the 74th minute the goal City had deserved arrived on 74 minutes. Silva released Balotelli in the area and when his shot was deflected it fell invitingly into the path of Toure who gave Sorensen no chance with a thunderous finish.
In a typical Italian way Roberto Mancini got his players to protect the lead and although Stoke out the pressure on at the end City were never in trouble and when the referee blew the whistle it ended a fantastic week for Manchester City. They guarantee Champions League football on Tuesday and today claimed the FA Cup. The only guarantee after this is this will not the the last bit of silverware the Citizens will win.
