Man United recorded their second win in a row to move within touching distance of safety this week, Marc Lewry's side downing David Burton's Derby at Old Trafford. Gomez gave United the lead in the first half, Martin levelled from the penalty spot, but then Derby had Albentosa sent off with 12 minutes to go. The home side took advantage, Gomez with his second goal for three incredibly valuable points. United stay a point from safety, as Anthony Woods' Tottenham picked up an equally vital point at home to Ethan Bailey's Arsenal with a 0-0 draw. Below United, it was a bad week for Rangers - who lost 3-1 at Man City - and Everton - hammered 4-0 at Wolves - who now both look doomed. James West's Aston Villa maintained the gap between them and the bottom three with a great 1-0 win over last weeks table toppers Chelsea, Higuain the goalscorer. Wolves are now top of the table, the only team in the top four to win this week.
Two more goals from Cavani saw a vital away win for Sam Roberts' Doncaster, 2-0 at Chris Burton's Sheffield Wednesday this week. That victory keeps Donny in second place, two points clear of Kirk Greenway's West Ham who won 2-0 at home to Burnley. Wednesday drop to fifth after their defeat, Nick Smith's Liverpool up to fourth with a 4-2 win at Hibs. Leaders Scarborough recorded their 14th straight win of the season, coming out on top in a 4-3 thriller at Grimsby.
James Teager's Real Madrid are still top of Serie A, a 1-0 home win over AC Milan keeping them there ahead of Rich Coupland's Lazio who won 4-2 at home to PSG, Falcao with a hat-trick. Basle beat Benfica 3-0 and are third with Bayern fourth after a 3-2 win at home to PSV. AC Milan drop back into the bottom three, as Mini Mars climb out of the relegation zone again - they won 3-1 at home to Atletico. Even sides as high up as fifth placed Antwerp won't consider themselves safe from relegation just yet.
