When you are fighting relegation in the Premier League things can become desperate - and usually a bit chaotic.

Things never seem to go to plan when the pressure is on and the unexpected happened again on a manic Monday that saw 21 goals in three games light up a topsy-turvy relegation battle.

By the end of the final match, former Arsenal and England striker Alan Smith told Sky Sports: "It was a magnificent spectacle. It turned into everything you hoped it would be. Tension, goals, thrills, spills, absolutely spell-binding to watch."

Up first were Leicester, who travelled to Craven Cottage needing victory over Fulham to avoid slipping into the drop zone, but they quickly found themselves 3-0 down by half-time.
