Where to start? Today we saw some late, late drama at both ends of the table, which leaves relegation places and the title still very much up for grabs. Congratulations to Fulham, a brilliant result for them as they came from two down to beat Man City 3-2 at the City of Manchester Stadium. That sees Fulham still probably needing two wins to have any chance of staying up. Next weekend sees them at home to Birmingham, who will need to get something out of that game following their 2-2 draw with Liverpool. An equaliser from Yossi Benayoun left Birmingham with an uphill task to stay in the division. Fellow strugglers Reading and Bolton both picked up a point each on their travels at Wigan and Tottenham respectively to leave them hovering tentatively above Birmingham, outside the relegation places.
It is very much neck and neck for the Premier League title now, following Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Manchester United. A dubious penalty was converted by Michael Ballack in the 87th minute, a decision which left Fergie fuming. In the other games Sunderland confirmed their Premier League participation next season with a thrilling 3-2 win over Middlesbrough. The usual injury-time winner at the Stadium of Light left Roy Keane able to plan for next season as a top-flight boss. Finally West Ham and Newcastle cancelled each other out at Upton Park, with two goals from each side in a score draw.
A day that could have seen champions crowned and a team relegated has instead seen the top two sides level on points and three points separating four teams at the bottom. Tomorrow sees the sides battling out for a UEFA Cup position take centre stage, check back here for a roundup of those two games. In case you forgot what they were, tomorrow's fixtures are:
Portsmouth vs Blackburn Rovers - LIVE on Sky Sports 1 from 1pm
Everton vs Aston Villa - LIVE on Sky Sports 1 from 3.30pm
