Bolton Wanderers 2 - 2 Cambridge United
The pressure remains on Bolton boss Ian Evatt
Zeno Ibsen Rossi's last-minute own goal allowed Bolton to escape with a lucky 2-2 draw against Cambridge at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Despite salvaging a point, Wanderers' fans continued to chant for the dismissal of manager Ian Evatt at the final whistle.
Prior to Rossi deflecting skipper George Thomason's cross past goalkeeper Marko Marosi, it seemed like former Bolton player Elias Kachunga might be the hero for the visitors. Kachunga assisted on-loan Bristol City midfielder Josh Stokes, who scored his first league goal for Garry Monk's struggling side just four minutes into the match.
Bolton equalized against the run of play half an hour later when Szabolcs Schon delivered a cross from the left, and John McAtee slid in to score.
Just moments later, Cambridge regained the lead thanks to James Brophy's effort on the right flank. Kachunga managed to outpace Ricardo Santos to reach the ball in the area and netted his fifth goal in eight games.
Cambridge, aiming for their first win in Bolton since 1981, were close to victory, especially after Marosi made crucial saves from home debutant Joel Randall and Aaron Collins.
Best reaction
One Bolton fan told me: "That was another awful performance. We were very lucky to get a draw. This cannot be allowed to go on for much longer. The decline at the club has been going on for over a year now."
Harry K, a Bolton fan from Burnley, said: "It's the same old boring slow football. The squad contains some good players there, who if coached properly would be doing much better."
Robin also gave his thoughts, saying: "I saw some of the worst defending that I've seen from a Bolton team in the first 5 minutes. We just kept giving away unnecessary free kicks away in dangerous areas."
