The Manchester United continues to strengthen its leadership

Manchester again demonstrated today with his victory at Fulham (2-0) that does not support any layoffs in the final stretch of the season, where it appears that Chelsea and Arsenal will be its main competitors, although still far from being a real threat.

Eleven points still separate the "blues" in the third position, the combination of Alex Ferguson, who this week lost the race on his horse "What a friend" in the Grand National to be with his team at Old Trafford.

At the same time, Chelsea was in London to Wigan, the bottom club is English minimized their chances of staying. The Chelsea win (1-0), tighter than that of Manchester (2-0), was possible thanks to a goal by France's Florent Malouda, who played in this thirty-second day of the Premier League bottom club as a starter before the next Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.

After the ineffectiveness scorer Fernando Torres since he landed at Stamford Bridge last January, coach Carlo Ancelotti decided on this occasion it on the bench early in the success of any of his other three attackers.

While memories of the last day of the 2009-2010 season, when Chelsea were champions league after 8-0 thrashing by Wigan, anticipating a big party for the "blues", the team received the set this afternoon Roberto Martinez was very different then.

Find the network was rather expensive for Chelsea, whose fans began to despair when halftime whistle sounded with the score to zero. It was not until 67 minutes, and with Torres in the field of play (left in 59) to become Malouda.

Also in London, on the other side of town, the Tottenham beat Stoke after two goals from Peter Crouch and one of Luka Modric. It was exactly the medicine needed Spurs to heal the tragic chapter wins this week at the Bernabeu after falling 4-0 against Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
