Bolton earn valuable away point

Besiktas 1 Bolton 1

Sam Allardyce saw his depleted Bolton side secure a point from the first game in the group stage of the UEFA Cup with a gritty display in Istanbul.

Mexico striker Jared Borgetti scored his second goal for the club following his move in the summer with a clinical finish.

He cancelled out the opener by Ailton of Besiktas following some sloppy defensive play by Bolton.
