Everton In Relegation Battle While Chelsea Lose Further Ground

With eight games taken place on Saturday, it left two remaining games this weekend one on Super Sunday and the other on yesterday's Monday Night Football. Super Sunday saw surprisingly high-flying Bolton host surprising strugglers Everton at the Reebok. It took just ten minutes before Cahill scored, Gary Cahill that is, scoring his first league goal for Bolton. Bolton sealed the victory after 67 minutes with a Danny Sturridge goal, that's his third goal in three Bolton appearances. The win sees Bolton remain in eighth but are now just a point behind Sunderland. David Moyes later admitted that Everton are in a relegation battle as they now sit thirteenth but only three points from the drop zone.

Monday Night Football saw a London derby between Fulham and Chelsea at Craven Cottage. All eyes were again on Torres and again he failed to impress, and again was subsequently subbed. However other new signing David Luiz did impress and even set Torres up on one occasion, but his impressive game could have ended in tears when he fouled Dempsey in the box. Dempsey got up and went onto take the penalty in second half injury but Cech saved it to earn Chelsea a point. Fulham are now twelfth and just a point ahead of Everton but are only two points behind Stoke in ninth. Chelsea's league aspirations are almost finished as they are now twelve points behind Manchester United but more worryingly they are two points behind Tottenham in fourth.
