http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes will be pleased with his side’s performance against Newcastle United, who still managed to qualify for the Europa League despite losing their last game of the season, while Chelsea gave Blackburn a less than memorable send off.
Everton v Newcastle United
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 played their last match of the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League season in front of their home fans at Goodison Park. Their opponents were UEFA Champions League qualification hopefuls, Newcastle United, who were hoping to capitalise on any slip up
by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 or Tottenham Hotspur.
However, it was Everton who took the lead in the 16th minute after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906, continued his fine run of form when he doubled the home side’s lead in the 27th
minute.
Johnny Heitinga made it 3-0 in the second half and the match was all but done and dusted. Newcastle United, however, did not give up and got their reward in the 73rd minute when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-Hibbert-c35447 was unfortunate as he deflected the ball past his own
keeper and into the back of the net.
The match finished 3-1 in favour of the home side although Newcastle United still managed to qualify for next season’s Europa League competition.

The result of this match had no bearing on either side’s position in the league table as Blackburn had already been relegated and Chelsea were guaranteed a sixth place finish regardless of the result.
Chelsea manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 gave the home side the lead in the 31st minute.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-Meireles-c30678 doubled the lead three minutes later when his effort found the back of the Blackburn net on 34 minutes.
It seemed to be game over but Ayegbeni Yakubu gave the travelling supporters something cheer about when he pulled one goal back for Blackburn on 60 minutes. However, that failed to be the catalyst for the visitors and they signed off from the Premier League
with a defeat.
