Manchester United 0-1 West Brom: Darren Moore's side stun Red Devils to confirm Manchester City as champions
Manchester City are Premier League champions after Jay Rodriguez secured rock-bottom West Brom a win at Manchester United that was as remarkable as it had looked unlikely.
A week after preventing their neighbours from clinching the title in extraordinary fashion, Old Trafford witnessed a similarly improbable result as the managerless and rudderless Baggies pulled off the shock of the season.
Fans who have been starved of cheer left celebrating a win to cherish as Rodriguez headed home for West Brom, with United's 1-0 defeat seeing City seal the title without kicking a ball.
It is no less than swashbuckling Pep Guardiola's side deserve - but the City boss will no doubt have rubbed his eyes in disbelief at events at Old Trafford when he returned from his round of golf.
Manchester City confirmed as Premier League champions as Manchester United lose to West Brom
The City manager's decision to forego the match looked justified considering West Brom's dreadful form, although Jake Livermore's early attempt was a warning shot that undercooked United failed to heed.
Jose Mourinho's men should have had a first-half penalty after Craig Dawson caught Ander Herrera, but complacency seeped in and the Baggies showed fight under caretaker boss Darren Moore that has been sorely lacking this season.
Ultimately, Rodriguez was the hero for West Brom - and City - to secure a victory which sends shockwaves around the league.
"Manchester City, we won it for you" chanted the West Brom fans at the end of a match greeted by jeers by the home faithful.
Newcastle 2-1 Arsenal: Magpies all-but safe after home win
Matt Ritchie scored the winner as Newcastle all-but ensured their Premier League survival with a 2-1 comeback win over bogey side Arsenal.
Alexandre Lacazette had volleyed the visitors into a 14th-minute lead at St James' Park, but Ayoze Perez drew Newcastle level (29) with a smart near-post finish before Ritchie completed the turnaround with a 68th-minute strike.
A fourth straight Premier League win means Rafa Benitez's once relegation-threatened side have surpassed the 40-point safety mark set by their manager and, after a priceless victory on the eve of his birthday, will now harbour real hopes of a top-10 finish.
Meanwhile, sixth-placed Arsenal - much-changed after their midweek trip to Moscow - missed the chance to close in on Chelsea and see their lead over Burnley trimmed to just two points with five league games remaining.
