Premier League, Week 30: Dimitar Berbatov sinks Spurs

With time almost at an end, it was Wigan who clinched a late winner to give themselves a huge victory. With Wigan swarming all over the Newcastle defence, a cross into the area led to a huge goalmouth scramble which bounced off Franco Di Santo’s face and into the path of Arouna Kone, who stabbed the ball home to send the DW Stadium into ecstasy.

It’s a fine result for Fulham, but Tottenham are suddenly looking in real trouble for the Champions League places.

This game was terrible. I said that already, but it bore repeating.

Yet in the end, the pressure told, and Weimann broke the deadlock shortly afterwards. Bennett was once again the provider, sliding the striker in as he drilled the ball past Cesar to put Villa into the lead. Now QPR were rocking, and Lowton almost sealed the victory when he fired a fierce effort across goal, but the visitors survived.

In typical fashion, the hosts almost immediately surrendered their lead as Remy found himself in an ocean of space in the Villa area less than a minute afterward, but after getting on the end of the cross, he missed a golden opportunity. Nonetheless, the Rs stormed forwards in search of an equaliser, but in the end, time simply ran out and Villa secured one of their biggest wins of the season.

Southampton picked up three huge points off Liverpool that should go a long way toward keeping them out of the relegation fight as the season winds down.

Liverpool had a great chance in the 40th minute when Philippe Coutinho broke in behind the Saints defense, one-on-one with Artur Boruc. The keeper made a wonderful slide tackle before Coutinho could get off a shot.
