Chelsea clinch title

Chelsea retained the Premier League title when they trounced United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

William Gallas gave Chelsea a head start, heading past Edwin van der Sar at the fourth minute from a Frank Lampard corner.

A fantastic goal individual goal Joe Cole just past the hour mark doubled Chelsea's lead.

Defender Ricardo Carvalho rounded off the game with a powerful shot after 73 minutes to set the Chelsea fans into a frenzy.

However the game was marred by a serious Wayne Rooney injury.

The England star striker picked up a foot-injury after a tackle from Paulo Ferreira.

Rooney who will be out for 6 weeks is seriously in doubt for this summer World Cup.

"Wayne Rooney has fractured the base of the fourth metatarsal on the right foot and he will be out for six weeks," reported a Manchester United source.

England defender John Terry was concerned for Rooney. "I just tried to go in the dressing room to see him but security wouldn't let me," said Terry.
