"Premier" league - equality of leaders © EuroFootball.com

Last night in the English Premier League, there were eight matches. Perhaps losing their last theoretical hope of winning the title, "Arsenal", who are in second place, failed to beat the confidently leading "Chelsea" eleven away. The match ended goalless. The intriguing battle continues for the fourth spot, which allows participation in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round next year. Last year's underdogs, "Everton", secured a crucial victory at home by unexpectedly defeating "Man Utd" 1-0. By the way, in this match, the visitors from Manchester ended with nine players - nearing the end of the match, G.Neville kicked the ball into the stands and was sent off the field, while in the final minute of the match, P.Scholes, who had earlier scored a goal for the opponents, received a second yellow card and also left the field. Another Liverpool club, "Liverpool", is also trying not to fall behind. The club, continuing their Champions League semifinal battles, defeated "Portsmouth" 2-1 away and returned to fifth place in the tournament table, overtaking "Bolton". In another match, "Norwich" also unexpectedly defeated "Newcastle" 2-1, with a goal scored by the Dutch legionnaire P.Kluivert.
