Romelu Lukaku loses his footing as he comes under pressure from Luke Shaw. An ineffective performance from the visitors as well as gifting their opponents two goals has given Arsenal the advantage in their battle for fourth place.

Ashkan Dejagah of Fulham has a great chance to put the home side back in front but is denied by a fine save by Steve Harper. Hull's remarkable fightback dealt Fulham's survival hopes a major blow. Final score: Fulham 2-2 Hull City Photograph: Javier Garcia/BPI/REX

Early in the second half Ryan Shawcross goes in high on Danny Rose and gets his second yellow card ... Photograph: Alex Livesey/Getty Images

Which is followed by a red. Cue much hilarity and waving goodbye from the Spurs fans. Despite pressure from the 10 men, Spurs held on for the win. Final score: Stoke City 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur Photograph: Greig Cowie/BPI/REX

Swansea City v Aston Villa Swansea hats in the club shop Photograph: Paul Thomas/Getty Images

Look at the rain, buying one of those hats could have been a wise investment. Wilfried Bony slipped round Brad Guzan and slotted the ball home to open the scoring after 10 minutes Photograph: Paul Thomas/Getty Images

Gabriel Agbonlahor equalised for Villa midway through the first half before Jonjo Shelvey wrapped his foot around the ball to volley home from 35 yards and restore the home side's advantage Photograph: Peter Cziborra/Action Images

In the 73rd minute Pablo Hernandez curled in a third which pleased Swansea keeper Michel Vorm no end Photograph: Paul Thomas/Getty Images

What do you think of it so far? Photograph: Paul Thomas/Getty Images

Bony slotted home a fourth from the penalty spot during injury time to round off a bad day at the office for Villa keeper Brad Guzan. The result all but guaranteed Swansea Premier League status and left Aston Villa just four points above the relegation zone with three games to go. Final score: Swansea City 4-1 Aston Villa Photograph: Paul Thomas/Getty Images

West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United A fan gets there nice and early Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

If that fan hadn't then she might have missed West Brom's Saido Berahino open the scoring after 11 minutes Photograph: Alan Walter/Action Images

It's a frustrating day for Andy Carroll ... Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

And the West Ham fans, some of whom seem to have had enough Photograph: Alan Walter/Action Images

Baggies keeper Ben Foster was instrumental in securing three points for the home side, denying West Ham on a number of occasions. The win means they took a significant step towards survival and was their first home win under Pepe Mel. Final score: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 West Ham United Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images

Sunderland v Cardiff: Connor Wickham scored the opening goal for Sunderland in the 26th minute Photograph: Ian Horrocks/Getty Images

Connor Wickham was then tugged back by Juan Cala of Cardiff, earning a penalty in the 45th minute. The foul began outside the box but continued as Wickham raced through into the area where he looked certain to score. Cala was duly sent off ... Photograph: Alex Livesey/Getty Images

Fabio Borini dispatched the penalty and Sunderland went on to be comprehensive victors. In doing so, they lifted themselves out of the bottom three. Final score: 4-0 Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/Action Images

Liverpool v Chelsea: José Mourinho's side set out to frustrate title-chasing Liverpool at Anfield. Even Mourinho himself was a thorn in Liverpool's side Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Just before half-time, Demba Ba scored for Chelsea after a howler from Steven Gerrard. The Liverpool captain, who was the last man, slipped and gifted Ba a one-on-one with the keeper Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Try as they might, Liverpool could not recover. They concede a second goal late in the match and the result ends their 11-match winning streak as well as denting their championship aspirations. Final score: 0-2 Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Crystal Palace v Manchester City: Edin Dzeko scored an early goal as City came out of the traps fast in a bid to capitalise on Liverpool's earlier defeat Photograph: Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP

His header owed much to Yaya Touré's beautiful cross Photograph: Jamie McDonald/Getty Images

Touré later romped from midfield before curling a shot into the top corner to double City's advantage and earn them a win which put the title race back in their hands. Final score: 0-2 Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images
