 LONDON (AP) - Chelsea clinched its second straight Premier League title with a 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday in a game that could damage England's World Cup hopes — United striker Wayne Rooney broke a bone in his foot and will be out six weeks.
William Gallas scored on a header at home in the fifth minute, with the other goals by Joe Cole in the 61st minute and Ricardo Carvalho in the 73rd. Chelsea, which needed only a point to clinch the title, won the championship with two games left. Chelsea has 91 points while United is second with 79.
Rooney was carried off the field with 10 minutes to go. The 20-year-old star grimaced and clutched his right foot after a challenge by defender Paulo Ferreira. He traveled to Manchester with his teammates before heading straight to a hospital.
