Blackburn 1 vs 0 Bolton
Blackburn scored their first victory in three months with a 1-0 victory over Bolton on Saturday, easing the club's relegation fears after a prolonged slump in form. Rovers' Swedish international defender Martin Olsson scored the decisive goal at Ewood Park after 20 minutes, lashing in a low shot from 20 yards to beat the outstretched hand of Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan.

Blackpool 0 vs 0 Stoke
Blackpool stayed out of the bottom three on goal difference with three games left to play after a goalless draw with FA Cup finalists Stoke.
Sunderland 0 vs 3 Fulham
Sunderland's glaring lack of a fit striker plus some shoddy defending cost them dearly as Fulham celebrated only their second away win of the season. Gael Kakuta scored his first Fulham goal, running on to Bobby Zamora's cross and bundling the ball home as Sunderland's defenders failed to react. Soon afterwards, Lee Cattermole fluffed a glorious chance to equalise. And as Sunderland lost their shape in the second half, Simon Davies scored twice to silence the home crowd.

West Brom 2 vs 1 Aston Villa
The Baggies got off to a disastrous start, falling behind after four minutes following an own goal from Abdoulaye Meite, who somehow contrived to deflect Stewart Downing's cross into the back of the net. West Brom's 61st-minute equaliser was similarly scrappy, with Peter Odemwingie finally netting following an almighty scramble in the penalty area but the hosts' joy was short-lived, as Paul Scharner was shown a second yellow soon after for hauling down Stiliyan Petrov.

Wigan 1 vs 1 Everton
Leighton Baines's penalty earned Everton a draw and kept his former side Wigan in the relegation dogfight after a lively game at the DW Stadium. Baines netted from the spot after Hugo Rodallega's clear handball after Wigan had looked on course to win thanks to Charles N'Zogbia's first-half goal.

Chelsea 2 vs 1 Tottenham
Controversial goals from Frank Lampard and Salomon Kalou, who struck in the last minute, kept alive Chelsea's hopes of catching leaders Manchester United. Sandro gave Tottenham the lead when he fired an unstoppable half-volley past Petr Cech from 25 yards on 19 minutes.
