Premier League round-up: Fulham continue to look good in the race for a Europa League spot, moving back into seventh with victory over Stoke.

Erik Nevland scored the Cottagers’ winner on the half hour, playing a one-two with Andy Johnson before slotting the ball coolly past Thomas Sorensen.

Robinho netted his second goal in two matches as Manchester City secured a rare away win, triumphing 2-1 at FA Cup finalists Everton.

The Brazilian put City ahead in the 35th minute, firing through Tim Howard’s legs and then turned provider just after half-time, sending in a cross for Stephen Ireland to finish before Dan Gosling’s late consolation for the hosts.

At the other end of the table, Sunderland’s hopes of moving further away from the drop zone were dealt a blow at the Hawthorns with a 3-0 defeat against bottom side West Brom.

The Baggies went ahead against the run of play in the first half through Jonas Olsson, but further strikes from Chris Brunt and on-loan midfielder Juan Carlos Menseguez gave Tony Mowbray’s side a comprehensive win which keeps them in with a mathematical chance of avoiding relegation.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa looked had looked set to ease their recent slump in form after Ashley Young’s goal capped a decent first-half display at Bolton.

But Tamir Cohen’s equaliser on the hour means it finished 1-1, extending Villa’s winless run to nine league games.
