1638: Just over 10 minutes for Fulham to hold on and stay in the Premier League - just over 15 to go at Stamford Bridge and the JJB. What an end to the season!

1537: Almost 1-1 at the JJB as Marcus Bent volleys into the side-netting from an excellent cross into the box. Wigan are still very much in this game.
1535: Paul Scholes is lucky not to be shown a red card as he cynically barges Wilson Palacios off the ball as he charges forward, and having already been booked, he could easily have been sent off there.
1534: GOAL - BIRMINGHAM 1 BLACKBURN 0 David Murphy fires Birmingham 1-0 up as they battle to avoid the drop. It won't mean anything though if Reading hold onto their lead at Derby.
1533: GOAL - WIGAN 0 MAN UTD 1 Cristiano Ronaldo sends Ali Al Habsi the wrong way from the penalty spot and United are in front and now have one hand on the Premier League title. Boyce hauled down Wayne Rooney 15 yards out and Ronaldomakes no mistake.
1532: GOAL - EVERTON 1 NEWCASTLE 0. Yakubu is on target for the Toffees and they are well on their way to sealing the UEFA Cup spot. Only a draw would do for Everton and would render Villa's result meaningless.
1531: Drogba is clean through on goal but somehow Gretar Steinsson gets in front of the striker and uses his body to shrug him off the ball. Great defending. Still Chelsea 0 Bolton 0.

1524: Free-kick to United which Ronaldo will take.
1523: Ronaldo gets in behind the Wigan defence but his cut back for Scholes is excellently dealt with by Maynor Figueroa.
1522: Didier Drogba takes the Chelsea free-kick and curls the ball just inches wide of goal. It looked in all the way that one, but still 0-0.

1514: GOAL - DERBY 0 READING 1. James Harper fires Reading in front at Pride Park and, as it stands, they move out of the bottom three.

1512: Niko Kranjcar blasts over for Portsmouth from the edge of the box. He should have done better with that effort. Portsmouth 0 Fulham 0.
1511: GOAL - WEST HAM 1 ASTON VILLA 0. The first goal of the afternoon comes at Upton Park where Nolberto Solano has fired West Ham 1-0 up on UEFA Cup chasers Aston Villa.
1510: Drogba misses an absolute sitter for Chelsea as he sneaks in at the back post again but somehow blasts wide from just a couple of yards out. What a chance - still 0-0.

1507: Now it's Ronaldo's turn to shoot wide from long range for United as he fails to connect properly with the ball from 25 yards out. An open game at the JJB.
