On Saturday, four out of six meetings in the 33rd round of the "Premiership" ended in a draw. The only victories were secured by "Bolton" and Birmingham's "Aston Villa". "Crystal Palace" and "Norwich" continue to be in the relegation zone, as the duel of these outsiders ended in a high-scoring 3-3 draw. Taking advantage of a draw between "Liverpool" and "Tottenham", "Bolton" moved up to fifth place, defeating "Charlton" 2-1 away. The 2-2 draw is a painful blow to Rafael Benitez's Liverpool team in the fight for a place in next year's UEFA Champions League, as the other city team, "Everton", currently in fourth place, leads by three points and has played one less game. Taking a step towards survival in the league, London's "Fulham" club played a 1-1 draw at home with "Man City", but "Southampton" squandered a two-goal lead at home against "Aston Villa" and lost 2-3, continuing to hover just above the relegation line.
