Manchester United took a huge step towards retaining their Premier League title, beating West Ham United 4-1 despite playing more than half the match with 10 men, with Nani sent off after a scuffle with West Ham's Lucas Neil. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice at Old Trafford and Carlos Tevez and Michael Carrick netted against their old club as Manchester United moved to 84 points with one match to play. This means that if the leaders win at Wigan Athletic on May 11 they will be champions of England for the 17th time.
Second-placed Chelsea, who visit Newcastle United on Monday, have 81 points but a vastly inferior goal difference.
