WIGAN 1 (Caldwell 58)
Blackburn moved into mid table with a narrow home against Wigan who remain in the relegation dog fight. They opened the scoring when visiting keeper Vladimir Stojkovic came out to punch clear a cross from Brett Emerton but only found Morten Gamst Pedersen whose superb shot with the outside of his foot from 25 yards ripped into the top corner of the net. Wigan levelled when Gary Caldwell headed in a corner from James McCarthy but in a carbon copy, Rovers won it when Pedersen's corner was nodded in by Nikola Kalinic.

BOLTON 1 (Lee 35)
BURNLEY 0
New Bolton boss Owen Coyle saw his new team record their first win under his management, ironically against Burnley, the club he left a few weeks ago. The only goal came after Burnley were forced into two early substitutions as Kevin Davies found Chung-Yong Lee whose shot rattled against the underside of the bar and landed clearly over the line before bouncing back into play.

Assist : Davies
TOTTENHAM 2 (Crouch 27, Bentley 60)
FULHAM 0
Spurs consolidate third place as a goal in each half saw off Fulham. Spurs took a deserved lead just before the half hour mark as a deep cross wasn't dealt with by keeper Mark Schwarzer under pressure from Peter Crouch and as the ball looked to be drifting out, Luka Modric rescued it and clipped the ball near post for Crouch to prod in ahead of the keeper. On the hour they doubled it as David Bentley's free kick was heading inside the near post before taking a massive deflection off of Bjorn Helge Riise in the wall and drifted inside the far post having totally wrong footed Schwarzer.
