Chelsea 2-2 Newcastle United: Having seen Manchester United win the title on Saturday, the Blues' quest to cement second place starts well when Branislav Ivanovic heads home from a second-minute corner
Undeterred by the early setback, the Magpies regroup and equalise shortly after when Ryan Taylor's free-kick takes a big deflection off Jonas Gutierrez (right) to wrongfoot Petr Cech and roll into the net
Both sides have further chances before the break but neither take them as half-time arrives with the score still at 1-1
With his side struggling to find a second goal, and with his job seemingly in jeopardy, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti makes three changes just after the hour to try and change their fortunes
A draw looks the likely outcome until the hosts win a free-kick which Frank Lampard swings on to the head of Alex (left) who makes it 2-1 with seven minutes to go
However, with only seconds remaining, Steven Taylor (left) sends a firm header past Cech after being left unmarked at a corner to earn Newcastle a surprise point
Wigan Athletic 3-2 West Ham United: Both sides start the match in the bottom three and in desperate need of points and it is the visitors who strike first through Demba Ba
The Senegalese striker finds himself free to head another from close range to make 2-0 in the 26th minute as the Hammers take a commanding lead
West Ham keep their two-goal advantage until shortly before the hour when Charles N'Zogbia wins a free-kick for Wigan and then thumps it into the top corner to reduce the deficit
The Frenchman's fine effort spurs on the Latics and they have January signing Connor Sammon to thank for their 68th-minute equaliser as the match takes another twist
From this point on the game becomes frantic with chances at both ends but no-one scores until N'Zogbia registers his second in injury time to win it for Wigan
The defeat ensures that West Ham are relegated to the Championship but means Wigan will have a great chance of staying up if they win at Stoke on the final day

Arsenal 1-2 Aston Villa: With catching Chelsea the target for the Gunners at the start of play, they receive an early setback when Darren Bent (centre) volleys over the advancing Wojciech Szczesny in the 11th minute

Arsenal pull a late goal back through Robin van Perise but it is not enough to stop Villa recording a fine win which makes certain of their place in the Premier League, while the Gunners can now no longer finish higher than third
