    Time:90'
    • Everton
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • 90+2' All over at Goodison Park and Everton have strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win against a toothless Bolton outfit. Thanks for joining me.
    • 90' GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Mark Davies handles Gosling's right-wing cross and the referee awards Everton a penalty in the dying seconds...Arteta is off the field, so up steps JO...WHO SCORES!!!!
    • 89' Tony Hibbert goes in the book for Everton, for a crude foul.
    • 83' Mustapha Riga represents Gary Megson's last throw of the dice. He's on for Ariza Makukula, who has been completely anonymous.
    • 79' Joseph Yobo replaces Baines for Everton and the substitute merry-go-round starts really spinning.
    • 73' Cahill leaves the field to a standing ovation from the Everton fans. Youngster Jack Rodwell takes his place.
    • 69' Matthew Taylor cracks one from 25 yards and Tim Howard is finally called into action. The American shot-stopper does his job and Everton's 2-0 lead is protected.
    • 60' Muamba and Puygrenier are withdrawn by Bolton. In their place come Eno Smolarek and Chris Basham.
    • 55' Bolton really don't look capable of getting back into this one. Gary Megson will surely change his tactics sooner rather than later.
    • 48' GOOOOOAAALLLL!!! Jo opens his Everton account with a sublime finish, gathering a high ball forward with his back to goal, swivelling and firing past Jaaskelainen. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
    • 47' sara.johnstott has a reasonable point: "Megson needs to stop being so negative away from home.­ Playing five defenders at a place like Goodison is­ absolute suicide."
    • 46' The second half is underway at Goodison Park and we have no changes to report.
    • 45' The half-time whistle sounds at Goodison, with Everton a goal to the good courtesy of Arteta's penalty. The home side have been completely dominant.
    • 43' ALMOST TWO!! Phil Jagielka meets a right-wing corner at the near post and his header HITS THE BAR!
    • 40' PENALTY TO EVERTON!!! Jo is tripped awkwardly by Andy O'Brien and the referee has no choice but to award the home side a spot-kick...ARTETA STEPS UP AND SHOOTS PAST JAASKELAINEN INTO THE TOP RIGHT!!! Everton lead 1-0 and they thoroughly deserve it.
    • 36' Adammurphy has this to say: "Come on you men in Blue! Bolton have got nothin!!!!"
    • 34' Everton are playing the ball around midfield in comfort, before Arteta cuts in from the right and unleashes a fierce low drive...Jaaskelainen saves well at his near post.
    • 30' Bolton enjoy a rare outing forward, but their attempt at attack soon breaks down and normal service is resumed.
    • 26' Jo goes through the middle for Everton, but he's pushed right and his early low shot goes across Jaaskelainen and beyond the far post.
    • 24' Fabrice Muamba meets a clearance and cracks a volley just over the bar from 20 yards.
    • 20' Everton have enjoyed 68.1 per cent of the possession so far, with Bolton sitting back waiting for a chance to break.
    • 17' Excellent work from Jussi Jaaskelainen, who stretches to gather a wicked left-wing cross with Jo lurking.
    • 14' Everton are playing some lovely stuff, but the final ball is lacking so far. Cahill and Jo have been heavily involved and the early signs would suggest these two have the makings of a decent partnership. Kevin Davies is ploughing a lone furrow for Bolton, as usual.
    • 8' First chance for Jo, who receives the ball with his back to goal six yards out...he can't control it though and Sebastian Puygrenier clears his lines.
    • 6' Everton are having the better of the early exchanges. Jo bursts through the middle of midfield and plays a neat ball out to Mikel Arteta, but he can't keep it in play.
    • 4' WHAT A MISS FROM TIM CAHILL!!!! The ball is cut across the Bolton box and Cahill has the simpliest of tasks to tap it home, but he somehow skews his effort and Bolton survive.
    • 3' Jo gets his first touch in an Everton shirt, dropping deep to collect possession and neatly laying off to a team-mate.
    • 1' Away we go at Goodison Park, with both teams in their traditional colours - Bolton in white, Everton in blue.
    • - You may have noticed you can now make comments on our LIVE comments. Get stuck in!
    • - Team new: Bolton make a change at the back, with Andrew O'Brien back in the line-up. Otherwise Gary Megson's men are unchanged from the side that beat Spurs 3-2 in dramatic fashion last time out.
    • - Team news: Everton's new signing Jo will make his debut up front, with Tim Cahill in support. Dan Gosling also starts for Everton, following his heroics in the midweek FA Cup victory against Liverpool.
    • - Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Everton v Bolton at Goodison Park.

  1. So has Fellaini disappeared from the Everton camp?­ Because his name is not on the starting line up,­ it's not on the injury list neither is he in the­ suspended list? Why can't these reporters get their­ articles checked before publishing them online???
