London, February 11: Louis Saha had a night to remember by scoring both of Everton’s goals in a 2-1 win over Premier League leaders Chelsea that threw the title race wide open again – indeed he could have had a hat-trick but for having a penalty saved.
The Blues were left just a point in front after second-placed champions Manchester United held on for a 1-1 draw away to Aston Villa after playing most of the match a man down after Nani was sent-off yesterday.
Elsewhere Abou Diaby revived Arsenal’s title bid with the only goal in a 1-0 victory at home to Liverpool.
At the other end of the table, West Ham and Wolves moved out of the relegation zone with 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Birmingham and Tottenham respectively to Lancashire duo Burnley and Bolton into the bottom three.
