A day after Portsmouth had their relegation from the Premier League confirmed, their resolute performance against Tottenham at Wembley earned them a 2-0 win in extra time and an FA Cup final meeting with Chelsea who had defeated Aston Villa with 3 late goals on Saturday. In the battle to avoid relegation, Graham Alexander scored twice from the spot as Burnley recovered from an early goal to hammer their hosts Hull 4-1 and West Ham picked up 3 vital points with a 1-0 home win against Sunderland. Fulham held Liverpool to a goalless draw at Anfield, but Manchester City were in a scoring mood as they battered Birmingham 5-1 in Manchester. Manchester United drew blanks at Blackburn, giving Chelsea the opportunity to go 4 points clear at the top with a narrow 1-0 home win against Bolton in midweek. Arsenal suffered a huge setback losing 2-1 at Tottenham with Danny Rose scoring a belter to open the scoring for Spurs, and Aston Villa forced a late own-goal to salvage a 2-2 home draw against Everton.
In Spain Barcelona won El Classico 2-0 at Real Madrid to put themselves in the La Liga driving seat.
