Liverpool 0-0 Everton.
Sylvain Distin had a goal disallowed as Everton were denied a first
league win over Liverpool at Anfield since 1999 in a fiercely contested
Merseyside derby.
After a frenetic first half low on goalmouth drama,
Distin thought he had broken the deadlock when he headed home a Leighton
Baines corner, but referee Michael Oliver ruled that Victor Anichebe
had impeded goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Liverpool, who had earlier gone close through Daniel Sturridge, responded to the let-off with a spell of sustained pressure in which captain Steven Gerrard had an effort cleared off the line by 35-year-old defender Distin. The draw leaves Everton in sixth place, five points behind Tottenham, who are occupying the Europa League qualifying place, with two games left for Moyes's team and three for Spurs.
Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea.
A deflected Juan Mata strike gave Chelsea a victory at a lacklustre
Manchester United which lifts the Blues up to third in the Premier
League.
Earlier, Oscar's shot for the visitors was palmed on to
the post by keeper Anders Lindegaard before United's Robin van Persie
glanced a shot just wide.
The match appeared to be petering out when Mata's 87th minute shot went in off Phil Jones and the post.
Moments later, United's Rafael was sent off for kicking David Luiz.
The Brazilian defender was seen smiling on the ground after Rafael's crude challenge as the game ended in the kind of fiery intensity the match had largely lacked.
