da brdice: Bolton loan signing Daniel Sturridge scored a last-minute winner to break Wolverhampton hearts at the Reebok Stadium.
da poker: The Chelsea man came off the bench to hit the only goal of the game as he latched onto Ronald Zubar’s horrible back-pass.
The goal would have been a bitter pill to swallow for Wolves whose goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey made a number of excellent saves.
Mick McCarthy’s team are now bottom of the Premier League after their 15th defeat of the season.
Bolton welcomed back Chung Yong-Lee from the Asian Cup and he was quickly in the action setting up Matt Taylor but the midfielder shot weakly at Hennessey.
In the 28th minute Johan Elmander swung in a cross and picked out an unmarked Kevin Davies but Hennessey guessed the right way and made another superb block.
Bolton’s best effort came in first-half stoppage time when Sam Ricketts fired inches wide with Hennessey rooted to the spot.
Both teams looked poor in defence and lacklustre in their opponent’s penalty area, with visitors Wolves making almost no impact in the final third.
Twenty minutes into the second half, Lee made a searching cross from the right, but it was Wolves defender Christophe Berra who met it and almost scored an own goal only for Hennessey to make another great save.
The visitors awoke from their slumber in the final ten minutes as Kevin Doyle threatened Bolton’s defence on numerous occasions.
Having earlier delivered a teasing low cross that nobody was in place to meet, Doyle made a dash for goal with three minutes to play but his effort hit the woodwork.
But there was still time for Sturridge to steal the headlines with his winner at the death that halts Bolton’s slump in form.
