Liverpool 0-0 West Brom.
Liverpool and West Ham fought out a largely disappointing goalless
draw which damages the home team's European ambitions but eased
relegation concerns for their opponents.
The Hammers were denied their first win at Anfield for
50 years when Lucas Leiva cleared Jack Collison's late header off the
line.
Luis Suarez was marshalled expertly by West Ham defender James Collins, although the Uruguay forward did force an injury-time save from Jussi Jaaskelainen at the goalkeeper's near post with a low shot.
Tottenham 2-2 Everton.
Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a late equaliser for Tottenham against Everton
to cap a riveting match between two Champions League hopefuls.
Spurs took the lead after just 33 seconds when Emmanuel Adebayor converted Jan Vertonghen's low cross.
But Everton levelled through Phil Jagielka and took the lead from a fine solo goal by Kevin Mirallas.
In a frantic finale, Adebayor struck the post and Sigurdsson slotted home the rebound to claim a vital point.
There was still time for Everton to go close as Victor Anichebe ran through on goal and saw his shot smothered by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.
Chelsea 2-1 Sunderland.
Paolo Di Canio's reign as Sunderland manager began with a defeat at
Chelsea that leaves The Black Cats deep in the fight to stay in the
Premier League.
The Italian had the start he wanted when Cesar
Azpilicueta's own goal gave Sunderland a surprise lead moments before
half-time.
Sunderland's renewed optimism was short-lived, however, as Chelsea were in front 10 minutes after the interval as a result of another own goal, this time a deflection off Matt Kilgallon, and Branislav Ivanovic's touch on a David Luiz shot.
Newcastle 1-0 Fulham.
Papiss Cisse scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Newcastle
deservedly beat Fulham to move five points clear of the relegation zone.
After hitting the post and missing a number of other chances, Cisse volleyed home with one of the game's last kicks.
Mid-table Fulham went close in either half through Dimitar Berbatov, but they were under pressure for long periods.
QPR 1-1 Wigan.
Shaun Maloney's 94th-minute free-kick earned struggling Wigan a point
and denied 10-man QPR what would have been a vital win at the bottom of
the table.
Loic Remy hit the post early on but Rangers had to play
for 70 minutes with 10 men after Bobby Zamora was sent off for a high
challenge on Jordi Gomez.
Wigan struggled to make their extra man count and QPR thought they had won it through Remy's superb breakaway goal. But Maloney replied in injury time with a curling shot into the top corner.
