Manchester City 0-0 Liverpool. Forget for a moment that Sven's men have dropped four points in two home matches to end the season. If not for Richard Dunne, things could have been much worse. The Man City defender stood tall on the backline against a relentless Liverpool attack, blanking the Reds and leaving them ten points off the pace for the Premier League title. Man City, meanwhile, remains only a point behind Liverpool for the fourth and final Champions League spot. If this team ever gets some offense, watch out.
Everton 1-4 Arsenal. The Gunners returned to the top of the table yesterday, thanks to two goals from Eduardo Da Silva early in the second half and a terrible miscommunication between Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard and defender Joseph Yobo, which led to a disturbingly easy Emmanuel Adebayor goal. Nicklas Bendter was sent off for Arsenal after two yellow cards, and Mikel Arteta got a straight red for an elbow to the face of Cesc Fabregas, which nearly sparked a brawl.
Derby County 1-2 Blackburn. Well what did you expect from Derby County? A happy ending? Roque Santa Cruz scored in the 39th minute -- one minute after a Derby penalty was blocked by Brad Freidel -- and David Bentley scored three minutes later to give the Rovers all three points. Derby's goal differential is now -35.
