James Plant had given Vale the perfect start when he raced through to fire past keeper Callum Burton in the third minute.

Midfielder Adam Randell restored parity with a low right-footed shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box before Joe Edwards fired the Pilgrims ahead four minutes later.

Finn Azaz finally made sure the title would head to Devon when his right-footed shot from the edge of the box nestled in the top corner.

Some of the best reaction.

Plymouth manager Steven Schumacher told the local media: We've fought so hard week in, week out, since the last day of last season when we just fell short of the play-offs. Everybody to a man, all the staff, all the players, everybody, has given everything that they've got and we've managed to become champions, and we deserve it."

Darren, a Plymouth fan, told us: ""Fantastic day, fantastic season, this is one of my favourite days watching the league. If we go up as champions with 101 points is an unbelievable achievement and everyone is absolutely buzzing. We has seen off challenges from some big clubs and have probably gone under the radar a little without any recognition. Today, we have proved that we are the best."

Matt, another Argyle fan, added: "What an amazing team and structure we've built. I couldn't be prouder to be from the city that bleeds green!"

Port Vale ended the season in 18th place, having won just three times since mid-January. Their fans will be concerned at how their season has ended. They will know changes are neede if they want to stay in League One next season. 

This was the reaction of the Port Vale boss after their season concluded. Mr W commented on the video: "We lack vision, creativity, heart and determination."

Vale fan Andrew tweeted: "Something has got to happen at Vale. Get more League One players in and strong ball ethic of booting the ball instead of dribble pass."

Fleetwood Town 2 - 2 Ipswich Town

Already romoted Ipswich had to settle for second place in League One despite topping 100 goals for the season at Highbury. The away side had knew they could create EFL history by becoming the first team ever to clock up 100 points and 100 goals in a season. Despite missing out on the title, Ipswich fans will be delighted with how their season has gone and will be excited to play in the Championship next season.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
