The big fight for placement in the Premier League will be fought until the very end of the season - today the matches of the 36th round in the Championship were played, and the biggest surprise was the defeat of VBA.

Slaven Bilić's team met Wigan at "Hawthorns" and left the stadium with their heads bowed. The guests celebrated with a minimal result, and the only goal was scored by Morsi in the 73rd minute.

Wigan won an important three points in the fight for survival.

VBA has 69 points, a point more than the second-placed Leeds, who in the first match of today's program celebrated away to Hal - 0:4.

Third place still belongs to Fulham. Scott Parker's team beat Preston 2:0 and continued their fight for direct entry into the Premier League. "Hummingbirds" took the lead in the 50th minute when Nugent shook his own net, and the final result was set by Kamara in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

By the end of the season, the real battle will be fought for the other positions that lead to the playoffs. The difference between fourth-placed Nottingham Forest and Cardiff, which is in 11th position, is only eight points. However, the "foresters" only have to play the match of the 36th round against Middlesbrough on Monday.

Brentford let go of a two-goal lead away to Cardiff and had to settle for a point. There was no winner in the duel between Belkburn and Swansea, and Derby was convincing away from home against Sheffield Wednesday.
