QPR 1-2 NEWCASTLE Nedum Onuoha played all 90minutes for QPR as they lost their 20th game of the season while Shola Ameobi missed the game as Newcastle grabbed an important win. NORWICH 4-0 WEST BROM Peter Osaze Odewmingie was introduced in the 80th minute for Romelu Lukaku but couldn’t stop his team from conceding four goals at Carrow Road. ASTON VILLA 1-2 CHELSEA Victor Moses played from the start as Chelsea chased a Champions League spot. Frank Lampard was the hero of the day, scoring two goals, to equal and surpass Bob Tambling’s record of 202 goals to become the club’s all time leading scorer. EVERTON 2-0 WEST HAM Victor Anichebe started for Everton in David Moyes’ final home as Everton coach before he takes over at Manchester United. A brace from Kevin Mirallas made sure Everton ended the campaign on a high note.
