Premiership

Blackburn burn Gunners

Football

AFP, London
Blackburn completed their own double over double-winners Arsenal to blow the Premiership title race wide open on Saturday, as Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson and Newcastle boss Bobby Robson saw their sides win away to close the gap.
Goals in either half from Irish winger Damien Duff and Turkey midfielder Tugay secured a 2-0 home win for Blackburn over an Arsenal side that looked fatigued as they played their fourth match in 11 days.
The defeat leaves Arsenal just two points clear of Manchester United - who thanked a David Beckham goal for a 1-0 win at Aston Villa - with eight games left to play, including what looks like a potential decider between the top two at Highbury on April 15.
Ferguson said he believed his men would bridge the gap and deny Arsenal the title.
"We need to win eight games for the title and I know we are capable of doing that. At this stage of the season it is all about getting three points from matches."
Newcastle coach Robson meanwhile argued his men cannot be counted out just yet following a 2-0 win at Charlton which took the Geordies to within five points of the leaders after Alan Shearer netted from the penalty spot prior to the break and Nol Solano bagged a second shortly afterwards.
"It was a big win for us today with Arsenal losing," Robson said. "I was more hopeful that Manchester United might give up something at Villa but whatever way it is an excellent day for us."
Robson, whose team still have to meet United at St James' Park next month, still rates Arsenal as favourites but insisted: "We are giving ourselves a chance and the squad is up for it."
While Newcastle fly high, northastern neighbours Sunderland saw their hopes of a miraculous revival under new manager Mick McCarthy fade after Bolton boosted their own survival prospects with a 2-0 victory at the Stadium of Light.
Second-half goals from Jay-Jay Okocha and Henrik Pedersen enabled Bolton to pull two points clear of relegation rivals West Ham, who came away from Everton with a creditable point after a goalless draw.
Blackburn went into their clash with Arsenal in turmoil after a training ground bust-up which resulted in striker Andy Cole being dropped by manager Graeme Souness, who argued such things happen all over the country and that the pair's 'tiff' was nothing major. But the former Manchester United and England star was barely missed as Duff gave the home side a deserved lead mid-way through the first half.
Blackburn secured the points seven minutes after the break when Tugay rifled past Stuart Taylor from the edge of the box.
To make matters worse, the match saw Arsenal's injury worries mount with Martin Keown forced off after a quarter of an hour with a suspected hamstring problem, four days before the make-or-break Champions League trip to Valencia.
David Seaman (hamstring) and Patrick Vieira (knee) both missed the match while Ashley Cole will not be back until next month following a hernia operation.
Gunners coach Arsene Wenger said his side were jaded after the midweek Champions League draw with Roma.
But he insisted: "Tiredness is not an excuse. We did not have the legs to win the game and were beaten too many times in 50-50s and lost balls we usually don't lose. At the end of the day we deserved to lose the game - we were not unlucky.
Manchester United thanked Beckham's 12th-minute strike for their success at Aston Villa.
Beckham could have had a first-half hat-trick but his back-post finish from Ryan Giggs chip proved enough to set up a thrilling finale to the season.
Newcastle's win at Charlton saw the club take a huge step towards guaranteeing Champions League football again next season.
Shearer opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Craig Bellamy was sandwiched by Mark Fish and Jason Euell in the box.
And it was the Newcastle skipper's flick which set up Bellamy to fire in a low cross that Solano touched home for the clincher.
Elsewhere, Southampton's Michael Svensson went from sinner to Saints hero with an equaliser in the dying seconds against Fulham.
Louis Saha had scored one and sent in a cross that Svensson turned into his own net to give the west London club a two-goal advantage.
But James Beattie's 18th league goal of the season offered Southampton hope nine minutes from the end and Svensson scrambled home the late equaliser to earn the point.
Leeds were left facing the miserable prospect of being dragged into the relegation dogfight after a 3-2 home defeat by Middlesbrough.
Mark Viduka had taken advantage of a defensive mix-up to give Leeds the lead but a Massimo Maccarone penalty, a long-range effort from Juninho and a delightful lob by Geremi put Boro in control before Viduka claimed his second of the afternoon, again courtesy of a spill by international team-mate Mark Schwarzer.
