Nolan makes it safe for battling Bolton

Lokomotiv Plovdiv 1 Bolton 2 (Bolton win 4-2 on agg)

It required two goals in the final 12 minutes to see Bolton through to the group stages as it appeared they were on their way out of the competition at the first hurdle to little-known Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Bourgas.

Following an uninspired opening 45 minutes, Lokomotiv then took the lead in spectacular fashion, with Georgi Iliev scoring a stunning 25-yard strike. That gave the home side the edge on the away-goals rule after Bolton had won the first leg of this first-round tie 2-1 at the Reebok Stadium a fortnight ago.
