Manchester United rallied to tie Blackburn 1-1 and claimed its record 19th English championship on Saturday, May 14, 2011. Wayne Rooney scored the title-clinching goal on a penalty kick in the 73rd minute.
The title victory surpassed arch rival Liverpool's 18 championships, and it fulfilled Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's 1986 vow to knock Liverpool.
In the title-clinching match, they fell behind 1-0, but kept up the pressure on Blackburn and finally broke through for the goal in the 73rd minute by keeping pressure on the Rovers and causing the foul. That's what separated Manchester United from the rest of the Premier League this year. Chelsea, Arsenal, and maybe even Manchester City, were more talented, but United never gave up. That's why the Red Devils won their 19th title; they never quit.
