Cristiano Ronaldo bagged the PFA player and young player of the year last night. This result hardly surprises anyone as most of the observer had predicted this before the results were announced. The following is the results for the matches played last night.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Chelsea missed a glorious chance to cut Manchester United lead at the top of the table to one point as they were held 0-0 by Newcastle United. Newcastle meanwhile retained their unbeaten home record against the so-call Big Four after the latest stalemate. The gap remained at three points between Manchester United and Chelsea remains at three points as both sides are both held to draw by their respective opponent. But Manchester United do have the upper hand of the superior goal difference should both team finished level on point at the season end. The match between Chelsea vs Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the penultimate match looks to be a case of winner takes the title match.
