Super-sub Stelios wins it for Bolton

BOLTON substitute Stelios Giannakopoulos came off the bench to score the goal which won this Carling Cup third-round tie for Bolton.

The Greek ace netted with eight minutes left, driving beyond goalkeeper Kasey Keller to give Sammy Lee’s side only their second win of the season.

Earlier, on-loan Bolton debutant Danny Guthrie stunned Fulham with a 57th-minute strike, only for Cottagers substitute David Healy to send the game into extra-time with a 78th-minute effort.

It was no surprise when the visitors took the lead 12 minutes into the second half with a cracking drive by Liverpool youngster Guthrie, who powered in from 25 yards.

Healy replaced Baird in the 72nd minute – and the Northern Ireland international striker equalised six minutes later.

Seol’s cross from the left was headed out by Abdoulaye Meite but straight to Healy, who rifled it through a crowd of players for his third goal of the season.

Then Stelios made the decisive breakthrough with eight minutes left, after appearing to shove defender Paul Konchesky off the ball.

FULHAM: Keller, Baird (Healy 72), Hughes, Bocanegra, Konchesky, Ki-Hyeon, Davis, Murphy, Bouazza (Kamara 63), Dempsey, Davies.

BOLTON: Al Habsi, Hunt, Meite, Michalik, Cid, McCann, Wilhelmsson, Guthrie, Alonso, Braaten, Davies.
