Juan Mata's dramatic late goal earned Chelsea an unlikely three points in their quest for Champions League football as they secured a 1-0 victory at Premier League champions Manchester United on Sunday. The Chelsea midfielder struck at the end of a rare flowing move in the 87th minute -- Ramires' back-heel finding Oscar, whose pass to Mata allowed his team-mate to drive the ball home via a deflection -- to lift his team into third place in the table.

Everton's winless run at Anfield continued as the Toffees played out a 0-0 draw against Liverpool on Sunday to edge closer to ensuring they will finish above their Merseyside rivals in the Premier League. Sylvain Distin's disallowed goal was the closest to a breakthrough in the 220th meeting of these sides, but the point ensures Everton remain five points clear of Liverpool with two games remaining. However, it effectively ends Everton's hopes of earning a Europa League spot as they sit five points behind fifth-place Tottenham Hotspur, who have played a game less.
