Premier League round-up: Manchester Unitedbeat Swansea2-0 at Old Trafford to take the Premier League title race to the final day of the season, but they failed to find the glut of goals they needed to turn up the heat on Manchester City.

First-half goals from Paul Scholes and Ashley Young were all the hosts could muster as they tried to respond to their rivals’ victory over Newcastle earlier this afternoon.

The big win they were looking for to help eat into the 10-goal deficit to their neighbours did not arrive, meaning, barring a freak United result against Sunderland, City will win the league with victory at home to QPR next weekend.

Djibril Cisse scored two minutes from time to drag QPRfrom the canvas and record a hugely important 1-0 win over Stokethat could well secure the club's top-flight status.

Rangers limped through the vast majority of this match and looked set to slip back into the relegation zone, but Cisse stepped off the bench to tap home at the back post after 88 minutes to set the stands at Loftus Road rocking.

Rangers recorded a remarkable 3-2 victory over Liverpool in March with a last-minute winner but this result will live much longer in the memory of Rangers fans for its huge significance.

Thanks to West Brom’s late comeback to draw 2-2 at Bolton, QPR are now two points above the relegation zone ahead of next weekend’s season finale at Manchester City.

A draw at City will be enough to see Rangers survive, although even if they fail to achieve such a difficult task, Bolton will have to win at Stoke to survive.

Rangers fans swamped the pitch after the game in celebration at knowing their team are nearer to survival, but for most of the 90 minutes they barracked their team, who were pitiful performers.

There was no spark in midfield, little threat up front and there were also shaky moments at the back. And all this coming against a Potters team whose season is 55 matches and 10 months old.

Yet, it did not matter in the end for the fans and a jubilant Tony Fernandes thanks to Cisse, who stole in at the back post to convert Anton Ferdinand’s flick-on and secure the three points.

James Morrison crashed home a dramatic last-minute equaliser for West Bromwich Albionas Owen Coyle's Boltonblew their big chance to take a giant stride towards Premier League survival with a 2-2 draw at the Reebok.

Martin Petrov’s first-half penalty and a 70th-minute own goal from Billy Jones looked likely to send Coyle’s Trotters into next week’s final-day decider at Stoke with their top-flight destiny in their own hands.

But the Baggies emphatically proved there is life after Roy Hodgson as Chris Brunt reduced the deficit two minutes after Jones’s mishap, then Morrison converted a cross from fellow substitute Simon Cox with seconds to spare.

Ten-man Tottenham'shopes of securing an automatic Champions League spot were dented by struggling Aston Villawho edged closer to survival with a hard-fought point in 1-1 draw.

Ciaran Clark’s deflected shot gave Villa a half-time lead and then the visitors had defender Danny Rose sent off early in the second half for a challenge on ex-Spurs player Alan Hutton.

Emmanuel Adebayor levelled from the penalty spot for Harry Redknapp’s side but they are now a point behind third-placed Arsenal going into the final weekend of the campaign.

Villa equalled the Premier League record of 17 draws in a campaign held by themselves in 2006-2007 and Newcastle in 2003-2004. But it means Alex McLeish’s side have ended the season with only four home wins

the least number in a season in their history

and fans chanted “sack McLeish” at the final whistle.

Tottenham will be kicking themselves for failing to take advantage of Arsenal’s home draw with Norwich yesterday.

They now must hope their north London rivals slip up at home to Fulham to keep alive hopes of a top-three finish.

Fulhamremain on course for a record Premier League points haul after the ever-impressive Clint Dempsey spurred his side on to a 2-1 victory against Sunderlandat Craven Cottage.

Martin Jol will return to former club Tottenham on the last day of the season knowing the Cottagers lie one point shy of their previous record, secured under Roy Hodgson in the 2008/09 season.

If the west Londoners achieve the feat, much of the praise will be deservedly directed at Dempsey in a season that he has netted 23 goals in all competitions.

The United States international’s future may be in doubt but it did not stop him scoring today, firing home a superb 25-yard free-kick after 12 minutes.

Phil Bardsley temporarily brought the visitors level with an excellent strike only for Fulham to respond immediately, with Mousa Dembele seeing a 20-yard strike take a slight deflection off Michael Turner as it flew home.

The introduction of substitutes Nicklas Bendtner and Frazier Campbell saw Sunderland end on a high but they could not find a way past Fulham, who secured their fifth win in seven games to leave them with a record-equalling seventh-place finish within grasp.

Molineux bade farewell to the Premier League with a goalless draw as Wolvesavoided an unwanted place in the record books.

One more home defeat would have made it 14 for the season and 10 in a row, equalling records both held by Sunderland, but Terry Connor's side battled hard to deny an Evertonside fighting for seventh place.

The visitors certainly had the better of the chances and twice had the ball in the back of the net, but Nikica Jelavic and Denis Stracqualursi were both denied by offside flags.

Despite the scoreline, it was an open game with chances for both sides, and arguably the best of the first-half opportunities came in only the fifth minute when Marouane Fellaini’s flicked header landed at the feet of Tim Cahill 10 yards out but he shot straight at Dorus De Vries.
