Chelsea Champions. West Brom and Birmingham go down

Last updated : 01 May 2006 By
Chelsea's 3 - 0 win over Man Utd secured back to back Premiership titles for Mourinho's team.

More excitingly at the bottom of the table Portsmouth came from a goal down to beat Wigan 2 - 1 and so condemn WBA (who didn't play) and Birmingham City (who drew with Newcastle) to relegation.

Harry Redknapp has kept Pompey in the Premiership for another season.

With two games to go Fulham could still finish top 10 but it would need a probably impossible sequence of results. In other Premiership news Alan Curbishley has left Charlton after 15 years.
