United were defeated 1-3 at home to the new champions, Chelsea although taking the lead through Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal early on in the game. There were some shoddy decisions by the linesman but the Red Devils were beaten by the better team on the day although United didn't lack passion or confidence throughout the match.
The match will be remembered for many things, one of them being the Chelsea players greeted by a guard-of-honour comprising United players as the new champions took to the field. With their 29th win of the season and their eighth consecutive away league success, Chelsea also broke the Premier League points record of 92 set my United in the 1993/94 season. They are currently at 94 points with one match to go. The win also stopped the run of games United were unbeaten after scoring the first goal and the stretch of unbeaten home games at Old Trafford. It is a sad day but there will always be next season and of course, the FA Cup Final to look forward to.
