Bolton won for the first time against ManUre since December 1978. Nicolas Anelka, previous from Arsenal, scored the only deciding goal in the match.

Anelka’s beautiful and impressive goal is the result of a Patrick Evra foul, which awarded Bolton a free kick. Ivan Campo crossed the ball from the right channel with his left foot into the left penalty area, in which Nicolas Anelka chested the ball, and then slammed the ball right low into the goal with his right foot.

It is not often that ManUre is served the humble pie. Let us not forget the teams which has done so to remind them that they are not gods nor are they infalliable. It’s also time some of ManUre’s more irritating fans get a lousy day.

May Bolton and Manchester City live long and prosper. (I said the same thing last year for Portsmouth and West Ham.)
