    • 94' And Bolton hold on!! Dramatic stuff as Stelios Giannakopoulos comes on in the 82nd minute and goes onto score a controversial winner in the first minute of injury time, as the referee ruled he was just onside! Stelios' first Premier League goal in God-knows-how-long earns Bolton all three points and bumps them up to 14th in the table. Despite a wonderful defensive effort, Derby - yet again - come away with nothing. Thanks for following our LIVE coverage and stay with Eurosport.yahoo.com for every Premier League game.
    • 93' Benny Feilhaber is booked for unsporting behaviour after a two-footed tackle on Christian Wilhelmsson. Poor form.
    • 90+1' Kenny Miller comes right back with his own chance in on goal, but Jaaskelainen makes a fantastic save! Derby do nothing with the subsequent corner and look doomed!
    • 90' GOAL!!! In the first minute of injury time Jussi Jaaskelainen launches the ball to Stelios Giannakopoulos, who was nearly offside in the middle of the box, but he flicks the ball over the head of Price and finishes off what should be the winner with a free header into the back of the net!! More heartbreak for Derby, as Bolton look like they will earn all three points!!
    • 90' Three minutes of injury time....
    • 86' Chippen shows too much of the ball to give it away on the left channel, poor play, and Derby will counter....
    • 85' The final sub of the game as Benny Feilhaber comes in for Fagan.
    • 84' Bolton have a chance from right in front of the box, but the ball is sent well wide of the post.
    • 83' We're getting tired of saying it, but yet another corner for Bolton comes to nothing, not even a shot toward goal.
    • 82' Nolan's miscue has earned him a spot on the bench, as Gary Megson opts to bring Stelios on.
    • 80' Campo pleads for the handball after earning the corner, but the referee is hearing nothing of it. Again Bolton fail on the set piece.
    • 78' What a miss by Kevin Nolan!! One of the worst of the season, as Anelka makes a lovely move on the left channel before finding the captain completely free five feet in front of goal before Nolan sends the ball right over the post!! Boooooooooo.
    • 76' A huge throw into the box from Campo goes off of the defender's head for a corner.
    • 75' Bolton, who are lingering just above the relegation zone on 17 points - one better than 18th placed Wigan, could very easily fail to earn the full three points in what should have been the easiest home fixture of the season for the Trotters. Derby have returned to the attack, and the visitors could even be dreaming of stealing a win with 15 minutes left to play here.
    • 72' Guthrie's cross toward the far post is easily handled by Price.
    • 71' Fagan with a prayer of a shot from ten yards outside of the box sends it well wide. The pace of the game has finally started to slow down a bit.
    • 66' Anelka with a wonderful shot from outside the box after earning himself some space, but Price makes a fantastic leaping save to send the ball out for the corner. Bolton, who have put Derby under constant pressure for the last ten minutes, do nothing with the set piece, though.
    • 65' Diouf is in on goal with only Price to beat after a pass from Anelka and he sends it into the back of the net, but the late flag goes up for offside.
    • 64' Derby substitution as Teale comes out and Jonathan Macken comes in.
    • 63' Another wonderful chance for the relentless Trotters comes up short, as Guthrie's shot from just inside the box and right in front of goal is fired high!
    • 61' Chippen with a great chance to score now, misses wide left on a shot from the left channel.
    • 59' Diouf takes yet another corner short, and after a cross into the box bounces from defender to defender without being cleared, Kevin Nolan has a chance right in front of goal from 12 yards out, but he reaches it at the same time as the defender! Derby, under incredible strain now, clear.
    • 57' Meite's header goes off of a Derby defender for yet another corner.
    • 56' O'Brien's cross into the box is cleared for a corner by Claude Davis.
    • 55' Gary Teale's diving tackle upends Chippen, and the Derby midfielder is shown a yellow card. Bolton do nothing with the free kick.
    • 55' A nice run down the near side by Guthrie, who sends the ball off of the Derby defender to earn a corner. Derby clear, but not far enough as Bolton retain possession.
    • 53' Chippen is called for the foul in the box as he leaped over the defender to try to reach the cross. Price takes the free kick.
    • 50' Derby earn a corner, but Bolton clear going on the counter attack. Wilhelmsson goes on a lovely little run, before giving the ball away with a meek cross in front of goal.
    • 47' Andrew O'Brien is booked now, and Derby have a free kick right on the edge of the box. But first Craig Fagan is booked for dissent, as it looks like he was asking for a red card on O'Brien. Derby fail to take advantage of the set piece yet again.
    • 46' The second half is underway, as Bolton make a substitution taking out Kevin Davies, who earned a yellow card in the first half, for the Swede Christian "Chippen" Wilhelmsson.
    • 45+2' After two minutes of injury time, the ref blows for halftime. The first half was at-times direly boring, with a few thrilling chances interspersed, and the score remains goalless at the Reebok.
    • 45+1' Davies sends one into the box for Kevin Nolan, whose first-touch is fantastic, but Darren Moore recovers to take the ball and clear.
    • 44' Diouf nutmegs Darren Moore hilariously to make his way into the box, and Price is forced to make a diving save of the Senegal international's shot.
    • 42' We have our first booking of the game, as the wild Davies is shown a yellow card.
    • 41' Derby earn yet another corner, but this time Bolton clear with ease.
    • 40' Some poor defending allow Michael Johnson to take a brilliant effort from just outside the box, but unfortunately for the visitors he hits the top of the woodwork. Derby remain on the attack, though, and Fagan has a chance at a header on the near-side, which hits the outside of the post! A great five minutes of play from Derby, who had been utterly dominated up to that point. Bad luck.
    • 38' What a chance from the corner! Fagan's header is on target and Jaaskelainen makes a leaping save. Derby fail to do anything with their subsequent corner.
    • 37' Fagan takes the ball from Campo, who slips, and sends the ball to Barnes down the near side, as the speedy midfielder earns a corner.....
    • 35' Barnes' cross into the near-post is easily cleared by the Bolton defence.
    • 33' Another chance for Davies, who can't reach Anelka's cross right in front of goal. Bolton are now very much back on the offensive, and the Trotters have certainly earned more chances than Derby when they have attacked.
    • 32' Diouf finds Anelka in the open space, and the Frenchman launches a gorgeous cross to the edge of the box as Nolan has a great chance - the first in a long while - but sends the shot high, opting to shoot straight away rather than controlling the ball.
    • 29' Bolton on the attack now, though it ends in nothing as Derby's defence easily find the cross and clear.
    • 28' Again Derby do nothing with the set piece.
    • 27' Derby continue to control possession without earning any clear chances. And Lewis earns a free kick as Davies is again whistled for the foul. Barnes sends it into the box, and Bolton clear for a corner, Derby's second of the game.
    • 23' The offside flag is up for Derby, who have done much better in the last ten minutes than they did in the first ten.
    • 22' USA international Eddie Lewis is now limping around the pitch, as he has picked up some sort of a knock, but will stay on for the injury-ravaged bottom-basement club.
    • 20' James McEveley falls awkwardly right in front of Bolton's goal, and Derby will be forced to make an early substitution as he limps off. Michael Johnson comes on, making his second appearance for Derby this season.
    • 16' Kevin Davies is whistled for the foul, but Giles Barnes's free kick into the box is easily cleared by Bolton's defence.
    • 15' It's been all Bolton thus far, and that does not look like it's going to change anytime soon. Anelka has another chance after a solid cross into the box, but the Frenchman - highly coveted during this current transfer window - can't chase it down.
    • 14' Bolton earn a free kick from just inside their opponent's half, and McEveley will go to the sidelines for treatment on an apparent cut. Derby defend the set piece with ten men, and Kevin Davies does nicely leap in the air and head the free kick towards goal, but it lands right in the waiting arms of Price.
    • 11' Campo fires a lovely cross into the box, but Kevin Nolan drags a Derby defender down and is called for a foul. Lewis Price will take the free kick.
    • 9' Campo drills it into Davies alone in the box, but the winger controlled it with his right arm and is rightly called for a handball.
    • 7' Bolton very much on the attack early on, have won consecutive corners. And on the second one, Meite's header is just wide of the far post! By far the best chance of the game thus far for the Wanderers.
    • 6' Anelka does wonderfully to win the ball from Moore, and would have had a free path to goal had he not tripped, rolling on the floor in a highly comical fashion.
    • 4' Craig Fagan is in on goal! But Jaaskelainen charges to make a brilliant save with his chest clearing for the corner. Derby do nothing with the subsequent free kick.
    • 2' El Hadji Diouf has won a free kick on the far side, and he takes it near post, and though Derby clear, Bolton still easily retain possession.
    • 1' Bolton, dressed all in white, kick off from left to right as Derby are all in black.
    • - DERBY TEAM NEWS: Derby manager Paul Jewell has a number of injury concerns ahead of the match at the Reebok, with defender Michael Johnson relegated to the bench and Dean Leacock, Stephen Bywater, Stephen Pearson (both shoulder), Andy Griffin (calf), Andy Todd (back) and David Jones (groin) all out.
