Premier League results

These are the results of the Premier League that were played on Saturday 6th of April.

Reading 0-2 Southampton.

Reading's hopes of avoiding relegation suffered another massive blow as they were well beaten by a Southampton side who have all but secured safety.

The Royals, managed by former Saints boss Nigel Adkins, made a bright start but faded badly after Jay Rodriguez slid in to give Southampton the lead.
The visitors' dominance brought further reward when Adam Lallana slotted the second past Adam Federici.
Reading rarely threatened as they slumped to a seventh successive loss.

Norwich 2-2 Swansea.

Luke Moore's fifth goal of the season rescued a point for Swansea against Norwich at Carrow Road.

Michael Turner put the Canaries ahead early in the second half after Robert Snodgrass equalised Michu's opener for Swansea.
And the Spanish midfielder missed a glorious chance to give Swansea all three points in added time.
The result leaves Norwich in 13th place, still only five points clear of the relegation places.
It was Norwich's fifth draw in their last six home matches, and their continued failure to open a comfortable gap over the teams in the bottom three will be a worry for manager Chris Hughton.
For much of the second half they looked the stronger team after Swansea dominated possession for the opening 50 minutes.

Stoke 1-3 Aston Villa.

Aston Villa moved out of the relegation zone by beating Stoke, whose own survival fears grew after the loss.

Gabriel Agbonlahor gave Villa the lead when he side-footed in from close range at the second attempt.
Villa almost added a second when Andreas Weimann's effort came back off the post, before Michael Kightly slammed in a shot to level for Stoke.
But a spectacular Matthew Lowton strike restored Villa's lead and Christian Benteke slotted in to wrap up the win.
It was a storming finish to the game from Villa as they claimed a third victory in four games to lift them three points above the relegation zone.

West Brom 1-2 Arsenal.

Tomas Rosicky scored in each half as 10-man Arsenal withstood a West Brom fightback to move above Chelsea into fourth place in the Premier League.

Rosicky cleared a Claudio Yacob effort off the line before putting Arsenal ahead with a powerful diving header.
The Czech midfielder struck again after half-time, drilling into the bottom corner at the second attempt.
James Morrison converted a penalty as Per Mertesacker was sent off for a foul on Shane Long, but Arsenal held firm.
They go a point clear of Chelsea in the final Champions League spot, but have played a game more than the Stamford Bridge club.
