A good display from Bolton wasn't enough to stop Chelsea as the Blues snatched all three points at the Reebok. Bolton dominated the first half with stand in keeper Ambrosio in fine form for the Blues. Ranieri's side moved up a notch in the second half with Terry and Duff scoring within minutes of each other after good work from Hasselbaink in both cases.

After doing the double over Arsenal last season Blackburn might have thought they'd have a chance even against a fantastic Arsenal side. Henry fired the Gunners in front as ever with a 30 yard free kick stunner with Friedel stranded. Robert Pires then clinched the victory three minutes from time.

Charlton continued their serch for European football next season with a 1-0 win over cup winners Boro. A Matt Holland strike 25 minutes into the game was enough to clinch the victory.

Everton clawed their way out of the bottom of the table fight with a 1-0 win over fellow relagation battlers Portsmouth. Pompey played well throughout the match but were unable to capiltilise following some good stops from Toffees keeper Nigel Martyn, and with just 12 minutes remaining Rooney sloted home after good work from Radzinski.

Things got even worse for Leeds at the bottom following some good form with a 2-0 loss over Fulham at Loftus Road. Luis Boa Morte was the star as Fulham controlled the match and got their reward on 71 minutes with Sean Davis finishing a good move and then Boa Morte capped a good performance with a goal on 83.
