Toure scored in the 74th minute; Rooney in the 73rd minute<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The city of Manchester completed a remarkable double on Saturday as its two football clubs won the Premier League and the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s 1-1 draw at Blackburn wrapped up a record-breaking 19th league title, before Manchester City beat Stoke 1-0 at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney\u2019s second-half penalty earned United the point they needed to win a 12th Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Yaya Toure\u2019s second-half goal gave City their first trophy in 35 years.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Roberto Mancini\u2019s side\u2019s 1-0 win over Tottenham in the Premier League ensured City will play in the Champions League next season for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is amazing we have won this final to go with our Champions League place,\u201d said goalscorer Toure, who also scored City\u2019s winning goal in their 1-0 semi-final win over United at Wembley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot to the players but even more to the fans,\u201d added City midfielder Patrick Vieira, who came on in the final minutes to replace David Silva. \u201cThey have been waiting a long time for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blackburn had taken a first-half lead through Brett Emerton and just before Rooney\u2019s equalising penalty, Martin Olsson hit the bar for Rovers with a header.<\/p>\n

If Rooney showed no sign of nerves as he thumped his spot-kick past Rovers keeper Paul Robinson, who had brought down Javier Hernandez to concede the penalty, afterwards he admitted he had been \u201cterrified\u201d before taking his kick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just had to compose myself, said Rooney. \u201cAfter the year I\u2019ve had, you know the ups and downs,\u201d he added, referring to the transfer request he submitted earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson added: \u201cOur away form has not been great, yet our home form has been absolutely fantastic \u2013 that\u2019s won us the title.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have dropped just two points at Old Trafford, though Ferguson\u2019s side have picked up just 25 points from a possible 57 on their travels..<\/p>\n

United will be presented with the Premier League trophy on May 22 after their home game at against relegation-threatened Blackpool, who boosted their hopes of survival with a 4-3 win over Bolton on Saturday.<\/p>\n

As Mancunians celebrated both in the city, Blackburn and London, Manchester City Council confirmed that Blues\u2019 victory parade would take place on 23 May.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s parade celebrations will be held on 30 May \u2013 two days after Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s side face Barcelona in the Champions League final at Wembley.<\/p>\n

While Manchester\u2019s two set of fans revelled in their respective successes, Mancini insisted his players would not be drinking to toast their FA Cup win.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, they know that we should play in three days\u201d said Mancini, referring to City\u2019s Premier League game against Stoke on Tuesday at Eastlands. \u201cWe have another two games and we want to try if possible to get third position.\u201d<\/p>\n
