Midfieldler Matthew Taylor scored with an amazing 45-yard volley–a strong contender for goal-of-the-season– as Portsmouth won 2-0 at home to Everton to go third in the table.

Obafemi Martins scored twice in Newcastle‘s 3-1 win at Blackburn and Yakubu grabbed Middlesbrough‘s equaliser in a 1-1 home draw with Wigan.
