Aston Villa drew with Everton after a dramatic finish to keep alive the race for fifth spot in the Premier League and a place in next season’s Uefa Cup.
Phil Neville’s strike put Everton ahead via a deflection off Martin Laursen.
But Gabriel Agbonlahor tucked home a corner after 80 minutes to spark a spell of three goals in six minutes.
Joesph Yobo volleyed home Lee Carsley’s cross but John Carew then headed in Gareth Barry’s cross to keep the gap between the teams to three points.
Both teams have two fixtures left to play and though Everton currently occupy fifth spot, Villa have a marginally better goal difference.
The result also meant that Liverpool are guaranteed to finish fourth in the Premier League and thus play Champions League football next season.
