Once again controversy ruled another Bolton game. This time is was a linesman’s error in judgement that sparked self-pity amongst Liverpool fans across the nation. There is no doubt that an error was made by the referee’s assistant (Andy Halliday) when Spanish goalkeeper Reina was thought to have handled the ball outside his area. The result was a free-kick which punished the visiting team as it was struck sweetly into the back of you know what.
There was nothing wrong with the goal it was the free-kick that should not have been given. I say that as I have heard too many times that the actual goal should have been disallowed.
No matter how they got their first goal Bolton found the net again shortly after half-time courtesy of the love god himself, Ivan Campo. Campo left Reina helpless once again with a super header following a perfect cross from Kevin Davies.
For a full match report we recommend The BBC despite the recent allergations reported on BBC1!
Finally The Wanderers have managed to get an away win in The Premiership, their first this year. Having gone ahead with their first true attempt Bolton defended well to keep the lead and come away from Fratton Park with 3 points that took them up to 6th.
