On Sunday, two more matches of the 28th round were played in the English Premier League. The results of these matches did not cause any major changes in the standings.
In an important victory in the battle for the fourth place guaranteeing a spot in the UEFA Champions League qualification rounds, the well-performing Tottenham team won this season. Martin Jol's team defeated Blackburn 3-2 at home after a tough battle, where the opponent deserved at least a draw. The victory of the London team was determined by two goals from Robbie Keane and one from Mido, with Blackburn responding with goals from Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Craig Bellamy.
After this victory, one of the strongest English teams of the season, with 49 points, solidified their fourth place. The closest pursuer, Arsenal, is 5 points behind Tottenham. Meanwhile, Blackburn remains in sixth place with 43 points, just 1 point behind Arsenal. However, both Bolton and West Ham, with 42 points each and a few games in hand, could soon overtake them.
In the other match, Man City defeated Sunderland 2-1 and climbed to ninth place. Meanwhile, Sunderland, who have suffered 22 defeats this season, remain in last place - twentieth place. Interestingly, Georgios Samaras, who scored both goals for Manchester City and has been demonstrating excellent form, only joined the English team at the beginning of January and has already become one of the leaders.
