Yesterday in the English Premier League, two matches took place. After this round, the competition for the fourth place in the tournament table intensified even more, guaranteeing a place in next year's Champions League qualifying round.
A big surprise yesterday was provided by "W.B.A." fighting for survival among the strongest, who at home narrowly defeated the faltering "Everton". The only goal of the match after a great pass from J. Greening from the wing was scored by the Hungarian Zoltan Gera. After this defeat, "Everton" lags behind "Liverpool" in fifth place by just one point.
In the next match, "Fulham" managed to recover after conceding a goal in the first half and secured a 3-1 victory in the match against "Portsmouth". In the 32nd minute, the visitors took the lead through T. Lua Lua. At the end of the first half, supported by more than 20 thousand spectators, "Fulham" had a great opportunity to equalize the score, but S. Malbranque failed to convert the penalty. However, in the second half, the hosts managed to turn the course of the match in their favor and thanks to goals from A. Cole, B. McBride, and L. Boa Morte, they celebrated a deserved victory.
