A brief look at who was hot and who was not after an incident-packed Easter weekend, with a humble Avram Grant doing his utmost to silence his critics.

WINNERS

Avram Grant - The Chelsea boss claims he did not hear the boos and chants of 'you don't know what you're doing' when he made a double substitution with 20 minutes to go against Arsenal. Regardless, Grant knew exactly what he was doing, and his changes proved inspired as the Blues went on to turn around a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1. He even had the humility to later play down his tactical contribution. Can you imagine Jose Mourinho doing that?

Kevin Keegan - The Messiah's long-awaited rising could not have been timed better as Easter weekend saw Newcastle finally claim their first win under King Kev. The result sparked wild celebrations on Tyneside, not least in the St James' Park boardroom with owner Mike Ashley reportedly keen on "getting naked and having a party" at full time.

Wes Brown - Ask any born-and-bred Mancunian playing for United who he would most like to score against and the answer is invariably Liverpool. Despite his ongoing contract problems, Brown is still well liked in Manchester and his contribution to Saturday's 'Scouse-busting', as they call it in those parts, only served to endear him further to United fans.

Fabio Capello - The England coach - who opted to watch Chelsea's clash with Arsenal rather than Manchester United's game with Liverpool on Sunday - has reason to be confident ahead of Wednesday's game against France after the majority of his key men put in decent performances over Easter. But more importantly, it is likely he will be able to choose from a fully fit squad, after all his players came through the weekend's matches unscathed.

LOSERS:

Javier Mascherano - Perhaps the biggest loser of the weekend after his strop at Old Trafford, the Liverpool midfielder is now in real danger of being held up as an example by the FA, who have already confirmed they could charge him with improper conduct. And that may mean a five-game ban for the Argentine, as the FA seek to stamp out disrespectful behaviour in the game.

Lord Triesman - Despite his best efforts at the beginning of the week, two high profile incidents proved the FA chief has a long hard battle ahead of him if he is to succeed in his plans to rid the game of the type of behaviour displayed first by Ashley Cole and then by Mascherano.

Arsenal - The Gunners' title bid appears to be over after a faltering display at Stamford Bridge which suggested that the Gunners are still a year off being able to mount a sustained challenge to the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United. Better luck next year, Arsene.

Chelsea fans - West London's 'finest' shamed themselves by jeering their own manager just before he masterminded a victory that puts them well into contention for the title. They may well have been singing Jose Mourinho's name as the game changing substitutions were made, but those chants were soon forgotten as the fickle fans wildly celebrated 20 minutes later.

Paul Jewell - Just as he was thinking things could not get much worse, the Derby boss picked up the newspapers on Sunday. With relegation a certainty for the Rams, Jewell's primary concern for the rest of the season had been to avoid becoming the most unsuccessful Premier League side of all time. Now he has to deal with the embarrassment of homemade sex tape allegations too.
