Breaking News

1. Birmingham City slipped to within two points of the relegation zone as they drew 1-1 at home to Everton while Bolton and Fulham both won. A close-range header from Joleon Lescott looked like it would give Everton a win they hardly deserved, but Mauro Zarate levelled with a stunning free-kick on 83 minutes. Despite a good performance and an acceptable result, Birmingham were dragged back into a dogfight by results elsewhere and have four games to save their top-flight status, including a derby against Aston Villa and a 'six-pointer' against Fulham.


2. A goal by striker John Stewart gave Queen of the South a thrilling 4-3 win over Aberdeen and their first appearance in the Scottish Cup final. The Doonhamers, from the second tier of Scottish football and founded in 1919, had gone into the semi-final as underdogs against their Premier League opponents. But they took the lead three times, each equalised by Aberdeen, before Stewart grabbed the winner against his old club on the hour mark.


3. Werder Bremen swept to a 5-1 home victory over Schalke 04 to move up to second place behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The goals came from Frank Baumann, Boubacar Sanogo, Markus Rosenberg and Ivan Klasnic, who scored twice, as Schalke once again paid the price for failing to take their chances. Eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League last eight on Wednesday due largely to their poor finishing, Schalke were no better as they dominated Werder in the first half hour.


4. Ronaldinho has agreed initial terms with Milan, who will now speak to Barcelona about a deal according to the Serie A club and the player's agent. The 28-year-old Brazilian has had a difficult few months at the Camp Nou because of injury and loss of form and a move has long been mooted. The forward is out for the rest of the campaign with a leg injury, although it has been suggested by a club director that he has been sidelined as punishment for an unprofessional attitude.


5. Kedah became Super League champions two years in row when they defeated Terengganu 2-1 Saturday night. Before tonight the Canaries had accumulated 50 points after 20 matches and only needed one more point going into the match to take the crown. Their nearest rival Selangor had the misfortune of having three points docked from the 42 points they had by the FA of Malaysia on Thursday for a disciplinary offence.
