Match Commentary

90'
Forget the first-half drudgery; this was a thoroughly entertainign match after the break. Darren Ambrose scored a cracker after Bolotn's opener had come from a more pregmatic approach but when Davis made it 2-1 you couldn't help but feel they deserved it. Newcastle were poor until going behind woke them up but Bolton were purposeful from the off.
90'
Free-kick is finally taken and headed clear by Gardner before Graham Poll puts whistle to mouth and ends both the game and Graeme Sounesses unbeaten run as Newcastle manager. 2-1 Bolton the final score.
90'
The award of a free-kick for Newcastle just inside the Bolton half precipitates a bit of pushing and shoving over ownership of the ball.
