EPL Saturday : Carlos Tevez Rescues Manchester United, Liverpool Sink Fulham

If there's somebody who's disappointment can be justified after this Saturday's Premier League action it would not be Sir Alex Ferguson neither would it be his counterpart Mark Hughes,it has to be Brad Friedel.

The American goalkeeper constantly denied the likes of Rooney,Ronaldo and Tevez to keep United at bay but it was Carlos Tevez who found a way pass Friedel as late as the 88th minute.

Roque Santa Cruz had given Rovers the lead in the 21st minute and it would have counted as a winner only for Tevez to equalise late in the second half.The Argentinian striker turned a flick from Paul Scholes to keep United three points ahead of Chelsea going into next week's all important clash at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal who are out of the race for the Premier League defeated Reading.Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto were the goal scorers for Gunners in the first half.

Liverpool rested several players going into Tuesday night's Champions League with Chelsea.Fulham worked hard to get a goal but their efforts went in vain as they saw two great opportunities being missed by David Healy and Darren Murphy in each half.Jermaine Pennant and Peter Crouch got onto the scoresheet in a 2-0 victory for Liverpool.

West Ham United defeated already relegated Derby 2-1 courtesy of goals from Bobby Zamora and Carlton Cole.Tyron Myers had earlier equalised for Derby.

Gavin McCann scored as relegation threatened Bolton defeated Middlesbrough at the Riverside.The Trotters get a valuable three points which takes a little pressure of Gary Megson.Boro were still probably the better side and they nearly scored through chances which fell to Tuncay,Alves and Downing.

Wigan and Tottenham played out a hard fought 1-1 draw at the JJB Stadium.Dimitar Berbatov put the visitors ahead on 6 minutes but Heskey equalised for Wigan on 12 minutes.Marcus Bent could have won the game but for Wigan but his shot the struck the cross bar and both sides had to do with a point each.
