United Kingdom domestic update 3/19/2011.

Up in the highlands of Scotland, Dundee United were able to edge Inverness 1-0 thanks to a goal from Danny Swanson in the 43rd minute. Hamilton and St. Johnstone finished their game as a goalless draw despite chances for both sides. It was also a bit surprising too, that St. Johnstone couldn't take advantage of the sending-off  of Simon Mensing in the first minute of stoppage time of the second half; had it occured sooner they may have. Hearts v.s. St. Mirren was also a very close match, ending 3-2 in Hearts' favor. Michael Higdon had given St. Mirren an early lead in the 15th, a lead which lasted until the 55th minute in the second half: that's when Rudolf Skacel scored his first goal to draw the two sides level. Higdon then struck St. Mirren into the lead again, but Ryan Stevenson struck in the 82nd to make it 2-2. Then, in the dying minutes, Skacel struck Hearts into the lead for the first time of the game. A lead which they didn't give up! Kilmarnock's 3-1 victory over Motherwell was good business as John Sutton gave Motherwell a 1-0 lead before Manuel Pascali and Jamie Hamill scored twice in the first half to give Kilmarnock a 2-1 lead at the half. Liam Kelly struck the third as Motherwell lost a chance to catch up with the team just above them. Moving to England now, Aston Villa were beaten by Wolves 1-0 as Matthew Jarvis struck in the 38th for the win. Blackburn's 2-2 draw with Blackpool was an exciting match as Charlie Adam struck twice in the first half before Christopher Samba and David Hoilett scored a goal apiece in the second to draw it all level. Everton edged Fulham 2-1 as Seamus Coleman and Louis Saha slotted home for Everton. Clint Dempsey's 62nd minute strike wasn't enough for Fulham. Manchester United defeated Bolton 1-0 thanks to Dimitar Berbatov's 88th minute goal. Stoke destroyed Newcastle 4-0 while Tottenham and West Ham finished 0-0. West Brom and Arsenal endded their match tied 2-2 while Wigan managed to edge Birmingham 2-1.
