Gift-wrapped: Man City crowned as United crashes

But Guardiola's first English title not enough to interrupt golf game

LONDON - Manchester City was crowned Premier League champion on Sunday after Manchester United crashed to a 1-0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion as coach Pep Guardiola added a first English title to his three apiece at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

City, which had moved within striking distance of the title with a 3-1 win at Tottenham on Saturday, clinched the silverware 24 hours later thanks to West Brom forward Jay Rodriguez's 73rd-minute header at Old Trafford.
