Gary Megson insists Bolton will still be the underdogs away to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Cup next week, despite holding a one-goal advantage.El-Hadji Diouf scored the only goal of Thursday's last-32 first-leg tie on a pulsating night at the Reebok Stadium in the 74th minute.

He fired home his fifth of the season at the far post after good work by Stelios Giannakopoulos and the outstanding Matt Taylor.

It came only 60 seconds after the gifted Sergio Aguero had been red-carded for spitting after a challenge by Taylor.

Augero will now miss the return leg of the round of 32 but Megson believes his side still have much work to do.

The Bolton boss said: "Atletico have an exceptional squad even without Aguero. We feel 1-0 is a slender lead to take to an exceptional team like them.

"We do know from my time here we have a good team, a solid team and capable of scoring the odd goal away from home. But they are still favourites."
