Important Win! Now, let's go on and secure that TITLE!

Climbing highest: Javier Hernandez heads in Manchester United's winner

As the clock ticked towards 83 minutes at Old Trafford, you could imagine Carlo Ancelotti's quizzical eyebrow rising ever higher and Arsene Wenger's pained frown easing just a little as they watched on in their respective London locations.

The game remained goalless, Sir Alex Ferguson was required to make full and animated use of the touchline on his return from a ban and Old Trafford was a decidedly twitchy place as Manchester United seemed intent on keeping this most mediocre of title races, in terms of the teams contesting it, alive until the very end.

It was not to be, of course. Football historians will eventually record that United won the 2010-11 title.

Thank you Chicharito!
