Midweek clashes between Chelsea and Newcastle and Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham in Premier League has intensified the race for Champions league spot. Newcastle United's Papiss Cisse has sneaked in the Premier League in extravagant style and his second strike in a win at Stamford Bridge could creep in as a goal of the season challenger, especially given its prospective significance.
Adebayor's double facilitated Tottenham win 4-1 at Bolton Wanderers whereas Newcastle humbled Chelsea 2-0 away as both sides moved a point behind third-placed Arsenal with two games left as the race for the Champions League heats up.
An astonishing Luka Modric strike set Tottenham on their way to victory at Bolton where midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who watched the match from the stand, acknowledged a standing ovation from fans; 46 days after making an incredible recovery after suffering a cardiac arrest in an FA Cup match against Spurs.
Fourth-placed Tottenham are on 65 points, level on points with Newcastle ahead of them on goal difference. Champions League finalists Chelsea, who will face Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday stay sixth on 61. If Chelsea thrash Bayern Munich in the Champions League final and finish outside the top four, they will take the last qualifying spot.
Now Spurs and Newcastle are within striking distance of third-placed Arsenal with two matches to go.
