A nail biting contest thankfully went the way of the Latics who had eleven man mountains on the field.
In particular, the free transfer from United, David Unswort came on and led the team to survival. Not only did he strike home the winning penalty, but his performance at the back was immense.
And how cruel a blow it was for the Blades who do not deserve to be relegated.
Thankfully, the four angered clubs will stick together and win the case through the courts.
West Ham United broke the rules, and cheated their way to Premiership survival, they do not deserve to take their place on the Prmiership stage next season.
Player Ratings
Mike Pollitt 9 - Brave to continue after the clattering he took for the goal.
Ryan Taylor 8 - Played well before injury put paid to his afternoon.
Leighton Baines 9 - Superb once more.
Arjan De Zeeuw 8 - Looked solid before his ankle inury re-appeared.
Emmerson Boyce 9 - Yet another fantastic defence performance from our player of the season
Antonio Valencia 9 - Gave away some silly fouls but ran himself into the floor. We must make his signing permenant.
Kevin Kilbane 9 - Never stopped running and was full of desire.
Paul Scharner 9 - Superb goal and another top draw performance. The Austrian has been a huge part of our relegation fight.
Denny Landzaat 8 - Put the mileage in in midfield today.
Emile Heskey 10 - A man mountain. If that was not an international quality performance today then I do not know what is.
Lee McCulloch 9 - Ran himself into the ground for the club.
Substitutes
David Unsworth 10 - A man mountain at the back and his cool head with the penalty saved the team from the drop.
Josip Skoko 8 - A wise performance in the middle.
Caleb Folan 8 - Did well to hold the ball up when he came on.
