Chelsea Slip Up In Race For Fourth

Tottenham and Newcastle have strengthened their hopes of playing Champions League football next season.

Spurs won 4-1 at Bolton in the Premier League while Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0.

Papiss Cisse scored two superb goals as Newcastle won at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 26 years.

Emmanuel Adebayor also scored twice in Tottenham's victory at the Reebok Stadium.

Luka Modric and Rafael Van Der Vaart were also on target for Spurs, with Nigel Reo Coker scoring for Bolton.

Those results leave Tottenham in fourth with Newcastle only behind them on goal difference, Arsenal in third are just one point better off.

Chelsea are four points behind Spurs and Newcastle with two games to play, but they would still get a Champions League place if they win this seasons final in Munich on 19th May.

Bolton remain in 18th place, but were lifted before kick off when Fabrice Muamba made an appearance before the crowd at the Reebok Stadium just six weeks after suffering a cardiac arrest playing an FA Cup tie at White Hart Lane.
