90 Full time and the win for Charlton thanks to two goals from Euell!
90 Substitution Konchesky comes off for the home team - wasting some time for the home team
90 Stoppage time at the Valley - Charlton looking good for the win - three minutes left
89 GOAL! Euell strikes for the Addick's! Bart-Wiilliams with the flick and Euell went through one-on-one with Cudicini and tucked the ball past the on-rushing keeper
86 Euell pokes the ball wide to Powell - Chelsea dominating possesion for the first time in the game
84 Zola on the run - Charlton back off the little striker - he has made a real difference since his substitution - Chelsea looking the more likely to grab the winner

LIVE COMMENTARY
90 Liverpool take the three points, however Fulham had every chance to take a point in the closing minutes before Litmanen's second
90 Collins shot deflected over for a corner in the last action of the match, with the ref blowing for full-time
90 Van der Sar raced out of his goal to clear a through ball but Litmanen headed round him and slotted home from an acute angle
90 GOAL! FULHAM 0-2 LIVERPOOL
90 Finnan earns a corner for Fulham but Liverpool clear
87 That was probably Fulham's last chance and the French international spurned it

90 Full-time: Middlesbrough 1-0 Leicester. A great three points for Boro as they continue to make progress up the table but Leicester are surely doomed now.
90 The referee blows the final whistle with Boro winning courtesy of a Frank Sinclair own goal.
90 Carbone has proved a constant handful and has not stopped working for the Boro cause.
89 Not much time left now if Leicester are to salvage something.
88 Substitution Nemeth comes on for Boksic.
87 A frantic finale to the game as James Scowcroft comes within centimetres of equalising.

LIVE COMMENTARY
90 These three points will restore Spurs' morale after the disappointent of the Worthington Cup final defeat, with Sunderland still looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone, though they looked better than that today.
90 Spurs' win was based on solid defending in the second half, allowing them to afford to waste the number of chances they did, with none of Phillips, Mboma or his replacement Quinn able to get a sniff of goal.
90 FULL TIME: TOTTENHAM 2-1 SUNDERLAND
90 Phillips runs out of room and loses the ball, as the final whistle goes. 
90 McCartney tries to lead one final attack for the visitors.
90 Spurs continue to control play as the clock ticks away.
