Premier League Relegation Race: Cisse Saves QPR, Bolton Give Up Lead Late

Joe TanseyMay 6, 2012

For the first 88 minutes at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, things were looking bleak for Queens Park Rangers.

Not only were Mark Hughes' club tied scoreless with Stoke City at home, but their relegation rivals Bolton were up by two goals against West Brom.

Then, things began to change in QPR's favor.

In the 89th minute at Loftus Road, Cisse drilled home a goal and sent the home crowd into celebration.

Then, just two minutes later, West Brom equalized Bolton through a James Morrison goal and that goal changed the shape of the relegation race.

Bolton were unable to score a third goal and ended in a 2-2 result while QPR held on to win 1-0 and with that win, they jumped up out of the relegation zone into 16th place with 37 points while Bolton fell into the final relegation spot in 18th.

Both clubs will now have to wait until after Monday night's Blackburn vs. Wigan match to know what exactly they must do to stay up and how many relegation spots will be left. Blackburn will be relegated with a loss Monday.

It all now comes down to Survival Sunday for the final four clubs in the relegation race, as Aston Villa secured their survival with a draw against Tottenham on Saturday.

In their final matches of the season, QPR will head to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City, who will have to win to secure the title, while Bolton face a tough trip to the Britannia Stadium against a Stoke squad that has been mired in mediocrity this season.

In the other two matches involving relegation fighters, Wigan will host already relegated Wolves and Blackburn visit Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
