Live Commentary
Time:90'- Bolton Wanderers
- Fulham
90+3 And that is the whistle, a comfortable win for Fulham looking at the scoreline but it was a tough battle at the Reebok!
90' FULHAM SUB: Nevland on for Andy Johnson as Fulham eat away the final seconds.
89' Dempsey plays it into the right channel. It drops to McCann back defending, and he plays a shocking clearance across the face of his own box to Kamara, who takes a touch AND DRILLS IT LOW INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT FOR 3-1! FULHAM SEAL THE WIN! They have not won away all season and had only scored three times away before today. What a way to come back from defeat.- 88' A bit of respite for Fulham, who get the ball down the other end and look to keep it there...
86' Kamara's first action is to trudge off for medical help after a nasty clash of heads with Cahill. He's okay, but might have a lump in the morn.- 85' FULHAM SUBN: Zamora comes off for Kamara.
- 83' Hairy moment for Fulham as Gardner crosses and Schwarzer makes a sow's ear of diving out to parry away, but it drops kindly for them and they manage to clear.
- 79' The ball drops to Muamba but his shot is high over the bar.
- 77' Long throw from Bolton's left but, yup, Hangeland's there to head clear and Simon Davies volleys it upfield.
- 75' Bolton are really trying to pummell Fulham now, going high at every available opportunity, but the visitors are back in numbers and have Brede Hangeland to win everything aerial, because he is around nine feet tall.
- 72' Some good pressure from the hosts, who win a series of corners and make Schwarzer work a bit but the big Aussie claims the last one and Fulham can send it down the other end.
- 70' BOLTON SUB: Muamba comes on for the stricken Davies.
68' .. McCann to take... brilliant delivery to the far corner of the six-yard box AND CAHILL FLIES IN WITH A FLICKED HEADER BUT INCHES WIDE! Great set-piece by Bolton, unlucky!- 67' Bit of a mix-up as Hangeland puts a ball out for a corner that Schwarzer was coming to collect...
- 64' Davies is still getting treatment but it seems that there is no break, just a nasty jar. It was a crude challenge and lucky that Dempsey didn't get hurt.
- 62' Mark Davies slides in late on Dempsey but it's the Bolton man who has come off worst in that, Dempsey rode the challenge but Davies's leg got trapped as he hit the deck... looks like a nasty one for the ex-Wolves man...
- 59' Bolton with a good spell of pressure going forward, with Fulham's backs against the wall, but Steinsson's shot goes well over. There were some neat tricks and one Michael Laudrup-esque scooped pass in that passage of play, very un-Bolton.
- 57' There was a hint of controversy about that goal in that the ball was on the line but the replays show that it clearly crossed it as Samuel tried to clear.
- 56' Fulham surge forward, Johnson on the edge of the box stretching to get on to it and he slips but it's with Murphy who has a shot blocked, it falls back to him and he tries again AND IT OFF THE BAR AND AWAY and it falls to SIMON DAVIES WHO CAN FINISH AND IT'S PAST JAASKELAINEN AND HOOKED AWAY BY SAMUEL BUT WAS THAT OVER THE LINE?! Yes! It's in, Fulham lead 2-1!!
- 53' High ball in for Elmander, he knocks it to Kevin Davies who gives it him back and he takes it on the chest and fires a low drive across Schwarzer which he manages to tip away and it could fall to a Bolton player but put behind by Pantsil! It's taken short and finds its way to Elmander on the edge of the box but he hammers it well over.
- 50' A sustained spell of pressure from Fulham but they can't create anything meaningful.
- 48' Gardner gets down the left and swings over a good cross for Taylor who heads on goal and saved by Schwarzer.
46' Second half underway!!- - Half-time and one apiece, thanks to some schoolgirl defending from both teams! Click here for photos from this match: Bolton v Fulham: Gallery
- 45' Bolton come forward after a long one from Steinsson, flick on by the chest of Kevin Davies to Mark Davies, he plays it back to Kevin Davies who glides past the challenge like it's not there and slides it past Schwarzer for 1-1! Dreadful defending by Fulham against a very straightforward move and Bolton are level thanks to a Davies-Davies combination!
- 42' Davies launches it down the middle for Fulham, Johnson chases but that should be easy for O'Brien but Jaaskelainen is rushing out and O'Brien's attempted backpass goes past him and he slides in to try and clear but Johnson gets there first to poke it in for 1-0! A dreadful defensive mix-up! Fulham lead!
- 41' Fulham cause Bolton problems again from the corner but evetually Jaaskelainen gets hold of it and slows it down.
- 40' Really good pressure from Fulham, winning a corner on the left which Davies swings in and it drops to JOHNSON BUT HE SHOOTS INTO THE GROUND and it's scrambled away for another corner! Taylor that was clearing off the line. Bolton under the cosh at the moment.
- 38' That disallowed goal has woken Fulham up, who are playing some good stuff now as Konchesky gets in down the left and plays a great cross for ZAMORA WHO CONTROLS AND SHOOTS BUT BLOCKED BY JAASKELAINEN AND BOLTON HACK IT CLEAR!
- 36' Murphy plays a good through ball to Johson who is tripped on the edge of the box but nothing given! That was a definite trip... oh flag was up.
34' Taylor has the ball in the back of the net but the flag is up for offside.- 28' Elmander over the free-kick then, 30 yards out... he sends it low but quite weak and should be easy for Schwarzer BUT HE SPILLS IT AND CAHILL MUST FINISH BUT THE KEEPER MAKES HIMSELF BIG AND CAHILL CAN FOLLOW UP BUT HUGHES BLOCKS AND MCCANN WITH THE OPEN GOAL BUT HE PUTS IT WIDE!! That should have been 1-0, McCann has his head in his hands but Schwarzer should really too, good block in the end but a howler from the free-kick.
- 27' Hangeland clobbers Taylor, more through clumsiness than any intent and being twice his size leaves the former Pompey man in a heap on the floor. Free-kick to Bolton then, 30 yards out...
- 24' Fulham have a corner then, swung into the box but cleared and Murphy can shoot but well over from the Whites captain.
- 23' Good play by Fulham, wide to Davies, a nice cross that Johnson flies in to chest in the air and ZAMORA but his finish is blocked! Corner!
- 19' Bit scrappy now after a decent start to the game, which suits Bolton more than it does Fulham...
- 15' Johnson with a good turn, clever touch and ball out wide to Davies who lays it off to Murphy, he goes wide for Pantsil on the overlap who crosses for Zamora but headed clear by O'Brien! Good football from Fulham.
- 13' Corner to Fulham, won by Zamora down the left... Bolton fail to get it fully clear and it drops to PANTSIL ON THE EDGE OF THE BOX but he smashes it over! The Bolton defence parted like the Red Sea but he made a mess of the finish.
- 10' After a good start by Bolton, Fulham are getting hold of the ball a bit more in this game. Bolton do go on a break though as Taylor gets into space on the left, but his cross is well intercepted by Schwarzer.
- 8' It's still with Fulham though, in a decent spell for the Londoners who, in case you didn't know, travel terribly. Pantsil wastes a cross from the right though.
- 7' Fulham come forward as Johnson gets in down the left, he cuts inside but runs straight into a wall of Bolton defenders and the hosts clear.
- 5' Hangeland clatters into the back of Elmander on the edge of the D and Bolton have a free-kick... straight into the wall though.
- 3' Good short passing from Bolton, switching from left to right but the cross from Davies doesn't make it to Elmander...
1' So Bobby Zamora returns to the Fulham starting line-up after being dropped for the home defeat to Blackburn as the match gets underway at the Reebok!- - FULHAM TEAM: Schwarzer, Pantsil, Hangeland, Hughes, Konchesky, Davies, Etuhu, Murphy, Dempsey, Johnson, Zamora; Subs: Zuberbuhler, Nevland, Gera, Kamara, Dacourt, Stoor, Smalling

God when will they get rid of Megson. I can't see how people don't see that he's not working at Bolton. They've done nothing since he arrived. He may have had form elsewhere but not here, he's no life about him. I think the only reason he got offered a new contract was because there's no one worth replacing him with at the moment. not because he's any good. I think Bolton willstay up just this season but face the drop very soon. A bad shame considering we made Europe at one point. MEGSON OUT!
I can't believe these Wanderers' fans. They seem to be so upset. It's only a game of football! Isn't there anything else in Bolton to occupy their minds?
yes! so good. bout time we got a win on the road. come on you whites!
fatty
Yayyyyyy! Well done Fulham
come you mighty whites!!! finish them off now
please eLmander!!do something !!
come on bolton you can do it - Roy Uttoxeter
If we can nick a point we should be thankful. We always play like cr*p against cr*p teams. If Fulham win it wouldnt be a surprise, its these kind of games that we ALWAYS let ourselves down...
Iwas just about to say Bolton always seem to shoot themselvs in the foot,when they go and prove me wrong again, its hard work trying to make sense off football.
Boltons defending lately has been awfull :S
Bolton need to bounce back from the awful defeat at Stoke, there is no better team to do it at then Fulham at home.
Bolton (5) davies 3 mcCann 2

I can't see Fulham getting anything from this game after their performances against Hull and Blackburn.
come on fulham
3-1 bolton (k,davies34,67,83 jonston59
bolton 2-1 fulham
johnson25*
davies57*67*we shuld win that because fulham havent won away all season and we have won most home games.
yeah should be a close game - i'm a fulham fan but i like bolton a lot cos they don't try to play the same boring "pass it across the pitch fancy-pants" football that other teams are trying to employ. they seem old-school in their approach, like the football that was played before wenger came to england and the prem was exciting.
