Manchester City clinched a second Premier League
title in three seasons with a 2-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday
that sent their Etihad Stadium into raptures and condemned Liverpool to
second place.
City, who only needed a draw to win the trophy, finished two points
clear of Liverpool whose campaign ended with a 2-1 win over Newcastle
United, who had two players sent off.
Samir Nasri calmed City nerves by drilling them ahead in 39th minute and
captain Vincent Kompany's neat finish four minutes after halftime put
the hosts in cruise control, rounding off a superb debut season for
manager Manuel Pellegrini.
The atmosphere at Anfield was muted as an own goal from Martin Skrtel
put Newcastle ahead in the first half, but goals from Daniel Agger and
Daniel Sturridge ensured they ended with victory against opponents who
had Shola Ameobi and Paul Dummett sent off.
