In yesterday's matches of the 34th round of the English Premiership, there were quite a few unexpected results. Probably the most unexpected were the first matches, in which "Portsmouth" defeated "Manchester United" 1-0. This could have been a painful blow to "United's" hopes of fighting for second place in the championship, but later it turned out that second-placed "Chelsea" failed to beat Liverpool's "Everton" team at home. At home, "Liverpool" also failed to win against "Fulham" team, who are fighting for the fourth place. For "Liverpool's" hopes of the next year's Champions League, this was a painful blow - they are only one point ahead of the fifth-placed "Newcastle", who have played two fewer matches. In the matches two days ago, the championship leader "Arsenal" crushed the struggling "Leeds" team 5-0, and now they are nine points ahead of the second-placed "Chelsea" team and have played one less match. Tomorrow there will be a match between "Aston Villa" and "Newcastle".
