Bolton robbed by Roberts

LIFE after Le Sulk was never supposed to be this painful for Bolton Wanderers. The post-Nicolas Anelka era began at the Reebok Stadium with defeat as Red Rose rivals Blackburn Rovers scored deep into stoppage time to seal a dramatic victory.

Even more painful for Gary Megson, the Bolton manager, to digest was the identity of Blackburn’s match winner.

Jason Roberts played under Megson at West Bromwich Albion but was sold to Wigan Athletic after the pair fell out.
