Sunderland 0 Manchester United 1:Manchester United ensured the Premier League title race would go to the final day as they responded to Chelsea's win at Anfield with a nervy 1-0 victory at Sunderland today.

Chelsea's 2-0 success earlier had put the Londoners four points ahead but Alex Ferguson's team clung on to their hopes of an unprecedented fourth successive title by closing the gap back to one with a game each remaining.

Chelsea, who have a superior goal difference of nine, are at home to Wigan Athletic while United host Stoke City.

Nani shot United into a 28th-minute lead at the Stadium of Light but they wasted several other good chances, notably through Dimitar Berbatov and had to work hard to keep the hosts at bay in the second half.
