Only goal difference is keeping Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place in the Premier League after they were stunned 2-1 by Norwich at White Hart Lane.

A much-changed Spurs team - no Rafael van der Vaart, Scott Parker or Emmanuel Adebayor - were punished for a nervy start when Anthony Pilkington fired the visitors in front. Pouncing on an error from Ledley King, the winger buried the ball from six yards.
But Norwich have found clean sheets elusive all season, and sure enough they were breached again on the half hour, England's Jermain Defoe boosting his Euro 2012 hopes with a neat finish. The goal was a controversial one, with Grant Holt feeling he should have been given a penalty shortly before Spurs broke upfield and netted.
Norwich boss Paul Lambert was furious - until his mood was lifted when a screamer from Elliott Bennett won the game for the Canaries, and dealt Tottenham a huge confidence blow ahead of their FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea next weekend.
A magnificent solo effort from Hatem Ben Arfa illuminated Newcastle's 2-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers at St James' Park.
Picking the ball up inside his own half, Ben Arfa waltzed past several players with a dazzling run before sliding past Alan Bogdan. Papiss Cisse netted once again - a tap-in - to take the game away from Bolton, who remain one point above the relegation places.
Everton warmed up for their FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool next weekend by thumping Sunderland 4-0 at Goodison Park.
The Toffees shaded a subdued opening period, and got their reward early in the second through Magaye Gueye who, scoring his first goal for Everton, hammered in after Leon Osman's shot was parried into his path by Simon Mignolet.
Steven Pienaar grabbed the second, finishing calmly from the edge of the area, before Osman and Victor Anichebe rounded off the scoring, meaning Liverpool cannot go ahead of David Moyes' men in the league table this weekend.
