Robin van Persie scored in the fourth and final minute of injury time to earn Manchester United a 1-1 draw with leader Chelsea in the Premier league on Sunday.
The Netherlands striker rammed home a loose ball from 10 meters to make amends for his error that helped Chelsea take the lead in the 53rd minute through veteran striker Didier Drogba.
Drogba met a corner from Cesc Fabregas with a towering header that should have been kept out by Van Persie, who was supposed to be guarding the near post.
Unbeaten Chelsea's lead was cut to four points over Southampton but Jose Mourinho's team is now six points ahead of third-place Manchester City, arguably its biggest rival for the title.
Eto’o lifts Everton
Samuel Eto’o scored Everton’s first and last goals in a 3-1 win over Burnley on Sunday that left the promoted team still without a win in nine Premier league games.
The former Barcelona striker put the visitors ahead in the fourth minute by heading in off the bar from leighton Baines’ cross, and clinched victory with a curling shot in the 85th.
Burnley — the only team in England’s top four divisions without a win — equalized in the 20th when Romelu lukaku surrendered possession to allow lukas Jutkiewicz to play in Danny Ings, who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted into an empty net.
lukaku made amends in the 29th, scuffing a right-foot shot into the corner to restore Everton’s lead. Everton climbed into the top half of the standings.
Newcastle win 2-1
Newcastle produced a rousing second-half fightback to beat Tottenham 2-1 in the Premier league on Sunday and further ease the pressure on manager Alan Pardew.
Halftime substitute Sammy Ameobi equalized for Newcastle within seconds of the team kicking off the second half and Ayoze Perez scored his first goal for the club to seal victory in the 58th minute at White Hart lane.
Tottenham dominated the first half but only had Emmanuel Adebayor’s 18th-minute header to show for it. With just one win in their last seven league games, Spurs are now three points off the relegation zone.
Pardew was under severe pressure a month ago with Newcastle bottom of the standings, but seven points from the last three games has lifted the team away from danger.
