EPL round-up: Manchester one step to the title

Published: 29 April 2007
by Klemen Kos

Manchester United go five points clear as Chelsea draw at home against Bolton. Red Devils stunned Everton with a remarkable comeback with Wayne Rooney once again playing the key role.

Manchester United overcame a two goal deficit at Goodison Park where Everton took the lead in the 12th minute after Michael Carrick deflected shot from Alan Stubbs free kick. Portuguese midfielder Manuel Fernandes doubled the lead five minutes after the break with a superb strike from the edge of the area. United claimed the title lust with an amazing finale which saw them equalize through Jamie O'Shea and an own goal by former United midfielder Phil Neville, before Wayne Rooney silenced the home crowd with yet another amazing performance. Former Everton striker took United to the lead in the 79th minute after outplaying Tony Hibbert in penalty area and finished off the amazing comeback with a marvelous assist in the extra time that saw youngster Chris Eagles scoring his first Premiership goal ever.

Chelsea suffered a major setback at Stamford Bridge after a sorry performance against Bolton, which was deprived of six first team regulars. Trotters took the lead after Slovak international Lubos Michalik goal before Ivory Coast striker Salomon Kalou turned the match in Chelsea's favour with two goals before the break. Bolton equalized and earned a draw in the second half after Kevin Davies strike in a match that probably sealed Blues chances to lift the third consecutive title in England.
