A supremely athletic strike from in-form frontman Michael Ricketts earned Bolton a battling point at Arsenal. The Trotters had lost Ricardo Gardner to a controversial red card but had valiantly resisted Arsenal's pressure until Francis Jeffers finally broke his duck for his new club. Ricketts however had other ideas and when Rod Wallace shrugged off Tony Adams to cross from the left, he pounced in style.
Bolton's super-sub flicked the ball up, turned acrobatically and gave David Seaman no chance with a fierce volley into the roof of the net. Afterwards, boss Sam Allardyce enthused: "It going to be a rest day for Michael Ricketts but we needed him when Dean Holdsworth inevitably got tired. "He has scored another super goal and Rod Wallace has made another good contribution after getting our goal on his debut against Blackburn. "I think a lot of people would agree we deserved our point." | |
