the win they needed to get into the UEFA Cup qualification places
for next season. Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy scored yet again on Sunday – he
ends his first season with 18 Premiership goals, putting him 2nd in

With Reading and Portsmouth failing to win, a draw here was enough
to ensure a UEFA Cup place for Bolton. Despite having little to play for, Villa have finished the season
in strong form – with 4 wins, 5 draws and just 1 defeat in their
last 10 matches. This was their 17th Draw of the season – more than
any other team in the Premiership.

Chelsea hit-man Didier Drogba netted his 20th goal of the season,
earning him the Premiership’s Golden Boot. Everton took the lead here, but Drogba’s goal claimed a point for
Chelsea, helping them to preserve their unbeaten home run. The
Blues have now gone 63 games at Stamford Bridge without defeat – a
record that stretches over 3 seasons, and equals Liverpool’s all-
time record.

Another drawn match here – 6 of the final 10 Premiership matches of
the season ended all square. Liverpool notched up 9 corners here compared to Charlton’s 2,
franking their season-long form in the Corner Supremacy department.
That’s 282 corners in total for Liverpool this season – making them
the Premiership’s top ‘corner winning’ side!

A massive win for West Ham – this result keeps them in the
Premiership. The Hammers repeated their heroics from earlier in the
season, when they beat Man Utd 1-0 at Upton Park (17th Dec). Sunday’s victory at the home of the Champions was West Ham’s 4th
win in their last 5 matches. The Hammers have won 12 times in total
this season – and half of those were by a 1-0 score-line.

Middlesbrough sent their fans home happy on the last day of the
season, with a win and another high-scoring game at the Riverside
Stadium. From Boro’s last 10 home matches, 7 have seen 3 or more
goals. A defeat for Fulham should have been no surprise here – they have
only won 2 league games in 2007, and have only won once away from
home all season. The Cottagers finish just 1 point above the
relegation places.

Portsmouth have had a good record against the Top 4 teams this
season… at home they’ve beaten Man Utd and Liverpool and now drawn
with Arsenal, and they’ve also drawn away at Liverpool and Arsenal. Pompey keeper David James holds the record for the most ‘Clean
Sheets’ in the Premiership. This was his 143rd – after he saved a
Baptista penalty and shut out Arsenal here.

Heartbreak for Sheff Utd, elation for Wigan… Wigan’s win completes the great escape for them – keeping them in
the Premiership by the skin of their teeth. This defeat – and West
Ham’s win at Man Utd - means Sheff Utd are relegated to the
Championship on Goal Difference, by just 1 goal. With so much at stake, it was no surprise that there was a ‘high
bookings’ tally in this one – 8 yellow cards and 1 sending off
making a total of 105 Booking Points.

Tottenham finish in 5th place in the league with their 12th home
win of the season – only 3rd-placed Liverpool (14) and Champions
Man Utd (15) can boast more home victories. Spurs’ strikers signed off in style, with a goal each from Keane
and Berbatov (Defoe missed a penalty, too). Keane averaged 1 goal
per game for the last 7 matches, and Berbatov netted 3 times in the
last 4 games.
