Manchester City 1-0 Wigan: A late show sees City close the gap to 13-points, with a game in hand, at the top whilst Wigan remain three points from safety, also with a game in hand. The only goal came seven minutes from the end when Carlos Tevez produced a great run before smashing a great shot home, a result City will be hoping for again against Wigan when they meet at Wembley.
West Ham 2-2 Manchester United: United now require six points to lift the trophy after being somewhat staggered by West Ham. It looked worse on 16-minutes when Andy Carroll's header was then headed home by Ricardo Vaz Te. But United equalised just after the half hour mark when Robin Van Persie played Shinji Kagawa down the side of the box. The Japanese cut inside before rolling the ball across the six yard box for Antonio Valencia to tap in to an empty net. West Ham went back in front ten minutes in to the second half when Mohamed Diame scored a great curling effort from the edge of the box. But United's blushes were spared on 77-minutes when Kagawa's great shot ended up coming off both posts before Van Persie, who was in an offside position, finished off on the rebound.
Fulham 0-3 Chelsea: Chelsea move back in to third place, a point above Arsenal and, more importantly, three above Tottenham. David Luiz broke the deadlock with an absolute screamer in to the top corner on the half hour mark. John Terry made it 2-0 two minutes before half time with a header from a Juan Mata corner. Terry then added the third on 71-minutes when he scrambled Fernando Torres' effort over the line.
Arsenal 0-0 Everton: For the first time at The Emirates, a game between Arsenal and Everton finished goalless. But it wasn't a boring 0-0 as both teams had chances in what was a very feisty affair. The point does leave Arsenal two points ahead of Tottenham, with Spurs having a game in hand, while Everton remain five points behind The Gunners and still with an outside chance of Champions League football.
