Chelsea boosted its hopes of securing Champions League football for next season by beating 10-man Stoke 1-0 on Saturday while Queens Park Rangers controversial 2-1 loss to relegation rival Bolton reignited the debate over goal-line technology. Didier Drogba s 68th-minute goal his 100th in the Premier League rescued the win for Chelsea in its first league game since firing manager Andre Villas-Boas, drawing the team level on points with fourth-place Arsenal. Liverpool lost 1-0 at Sunderland thanks to Nicklas Bendtner s 56th-minute goal to leave the League Cup winners 10 points off Chelsea and Arsenal, which hosts Newcastle on Monday. Third-place Tottenham played Everton later Saturday. Bolton s victory over QPR, which lifted the winners out of the relegation zone, was tinged with controversy as officials failed to spot Clint Hill s header clearly crossing the line for the visitors when the score was 0-0. Bolton then grabbed a 85th-minute winner through Ivan Klasnic to pile on the misery for Mark Hughes side, which dropped into the bottom three and is without a win since January. "Obviously, from our point of view, to have that clear goal chalked off was a significant moment," Hughes said. "Don t underestimate the significance of scoring first." Wolverhampton Wanderers stayed in the drop zone after losing 2-0 at home to relegation rival Blackburn, with Canadian forward Junior Hoilett scoring both goals. Fulham s march up the table was halted by a 1-0 loss at Aston Villa, with Andreas Weimann grabbing a last-minute goal.
