Bolton on brink as Baggies roar back

If Bolton were hoping that West Brom may have taken their eye off the ball with safety secured and their manager confirmed as England boss they were sorely mistaken, as Roy Hodgson’s Baggies grabbed a dramatic draw to deal the Trotters’ chances of survival a major blow.

After Martin Petrov’s first-half penalty and an own goal from Billy Jones, Bolton looked set for a vital three points in the battle for survival, but just three minutes after the Trotters took a two-goal advantage, Chris Brunt pulled one back to set up a nervy final 15 minutes.

And the Trotters failed to hold their nerve as Republic of Ireland striker Simon Cox found fellow substitute James Morrison unmarked in the area and he slotted in the crushing equaliser.
