Everton slips up in race for fourth
By The Associated Press

LONDON - Everton missed the chance to draw level with Liverpool in the race for fourth place - and the final Champions League spot - drawing 1-1 at Birmingham yesterday in the English Premier League.

Mauro Zarate scored the equalizer for Birmingham with a free kick in the 83rd minute, in answer to Joleon Lescott's 78th-minute header.

"I want to make sure we finish fifth at the worst, but I'll always keep trying to get fourth while it is a possibility," Everton manager David Moyes said.

Birmingham's draw also helped relegation-threatened Bolton and Fulham, who both picked up valuable wins. Bolton beat West Ham 1-0, with Fulham winning 2-0 at Reading for its first away victory in the league since September 2006.

"That goal and point could turn out to be very important," Birmingham manager Alex McLeish said.

Aston Villa beat already-relegated Derby 6-0 with six different goal scorers.

In other results, it was: Sunderland 1, Manchester City 2; Tottenham 1, Middlesbrough 1; and Portsmouth 0, Newcastle 0.

Manchester United hosts Arsenal today, when Liverpool plays Blackburn at Anfield. Chelsea hosts Wigan tomorrow, then plays at Everton on Thursday.

Ashley Young gave Villa the lead in the 25th minute when Derby goalkeeper Roy Carroll failed to clear his free kick while under pressure from Olof Mellberg. John Carew then scored from 20 meters out in the 26th.

Stilian Petrov made it 3-0 in the 36th minute, chesting a goal kick from Carroll onto his left foot and scoring from 50 meters out. Gareth Barry tapped the ball into goal in the 58th when Gabriel Agbonlahor's initial shot was saved by Carroll.

Agbonlahor then got on the scoresheet with a low shot in the 76th, before Marlon Harewood finished off the rout in the 85th.
