1993: QPR 3-1 Norwich City

Queens Park Rangers extended Norwich City’s slump in form with a 3-1 home win.

Norwich travelled to Loftus Road on the back of a defeat and two draws, which had allowed Manchester United and Aston Villa to go above them at the top of the table.

Les Ferdinand scored a brace before an own goal from Clive Wilson pulled one back for Norwich.

Wilson, scoring in the right net, restored QPR’s two-goal advantage to seal the points.

The defeat left Norwich third on 53 points, with QPR a place back, six points behind.

2002 - Chelsea 3-2 Fulham

Substitute Mikael Forssell hit a late winner to settle the west London derby as Chelsea beat Fulham 3-2 to keep their UEFA Champions League qualification hopes alive.

Mario Melchiot gave Claudio Ranieri’s side an early lead after just 18 minutes, only for Louis Saha to equalise for Fulham from the penalty spot.

Saha popped up again with an equaliser on 73 minutes after Eidur Gudjohnsen had restored Chelsea's lead.

But Forssell’s seventh goal in 12 substitute appearances won the match.

Fulham’s fourth straight defeat left them 11th on 35 points. Chelsea were on 47 points, eight points from the top four with a match in hand.
