AEK Athens secure Greek Superleague triumph

Anastasios Bakasetas converted a penalty early on before firing home his second just after the 30-minute mark to secure a 2-0 victory over Levadiakos at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

The win moved AEK onto 66 points, eight ahead of second-placed rivals PAOK FC with two games remaining, mathematically securing their status as champions.

It's the first time AEK have won the championship in 24 years, made even more satisfying by the fact that they have pipped their city rivals to the achievement. 

The club had to wait for confirmation of the title though following the postponed game between AEK and PAOK, marred by fan trouble.
