Manchester United have captured their 18th English Premier League title with a 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal.

Arsenal came agonisingly close to victory at Old Trafford on Sunday when captain Cesc Fabregas struck a shot against the outside post with seven minutes remaining.

Manchester United's draw put them on 87 points, sealing the title with one game remaining.

Second placed Liverpool, on 80 points, play West Bromwich Albion on Monday.

It is the third year in a row that Manchester United have won the Premier League title.

The victory puts them up alongside Liverpool as England's most decorated club.
