90+ 2 mins - That's it, Chris Foy brings the game to its conclusion. Wanderers fine home run at the Reebok is brought to an end as Fulham claim their first away win of the season.

90 mins - Andy Johnson is replaced by Erik Nevland as Roy Hodgson looks to wind down the clock.

89 mins - Goal for Fulham! Diomansy Kamara seals the three points for Fulham, taking his time before placing the ball into the bottom corner.
 
84 mins - Substitution for Fulham as off goes Bobby Zamora and on comes Diomansy Kamara.

78 mins - Wanderers launch a late on-slaught at Fulham. Fabrice Muamba blasts over from the edge of the box as they press for the equaliser. 

74 mins - Change for Bolton as Riga replaces Jlloyd Smauel. Ricardo Gardner switches to left-back.

72 mins - Etuhu tries his luck from distance, but his left-foot volley is sliced over the bar. No real danger with that attempt.

67 mins - Gavin McCann's corner is glanced wide by Gary Cahill. We see the first change of the afternoon as Mark Davies is replaced by Fabrice Muamba.

63 mins - Mark Davies is left lying injured on the ground as physio Nick Worth races onto the pitch to offer treatment to the midfielder. There's a brief break in play and both sets of supporters take the opportunity to rehydrate themselves.

60 mins - Steinsson blazes over the bar from distance after build-up play on the edge of the area from Mark Davies.

55 mins - Goal for Fulham! Simon Davies scores, following up Danny Murphy's effort which struck the crossbar. Jaaskelainen looked like he had saved the effort, but it rolled agonisingly over the goal-line as Jlloyd Samuel tried to clear. 

53 mins - Wanderers are inches away from making it 2-1 as Elmander sees a volley palmed around the post by Schwarzer. It looked like it might be trickling in over the line but eventually rolled the wrong side of the post.

50 mins - Mark Davies is in the right place to poke the ball behind for a corner after Fulham break rapidly. Lucky escape for the Whites.

46 mins - Wanderers attack towards the North Stand in the second half.

45+1 mins - After a frantic last five minutes, Chris Foy blows for half-time.

45 mins - Goal for Bolton! On the stroke of half-time, Wanderers level through captain Kevin Davies. The big striker chested the ball down and played a neat one-two with his namesake Mark Davies, before taking a touch and slotting past Schwarzer from seven yards out.

42 mins - Goal for Fulham! Jaaskelainen and O'Brien get in a mix-up and Johnson nips in to put Fulham into the lead. A slide rule pass was played in behind the Bolton defence and Jaaskelainen raced from his goal in an attempt to clear the danger. However, Andy O'Brien backtracked and got to the ball first and played the ball back towards his own goal. He was outpaced by the Fulham striker, who slid in to prod the ball over the line.

38 mins - World class save by Jaaskelainen. Paul Konchesky's cross fell at the feet of Bobby Zamora, who pulled the ball down excellently and fired goalwards. The Finnish stopper made a fantastic reflex block and a combination of Jlloyd Samuel and Gavin McCann hack the danger clear.  

36 mins - False hopes for the Wanderers fans as the referee blows for offside after Matty Taylor puts the ball into the back of Schwarzer's net.

32 mins - Bobby Zamora is caught on his heels as John Pantsil plays in a devilish in-swinging cross from the right. Any contact at the far post from the Fulham striker and the visitors would surely have been ahead. 

28 mins - How have Wanderers not scored there? Firstly, Johan Elmander's free-kick is fumbled by Schwarzer and both Ricardo Gardner and Gary Cahill can't turn in the rebound. The ball is cleared to Gavin McCann who can only side-foot wide on the half-volley.

23 mins - Bobby Zamora flicks the ball up inside the penalty box and looks to pull the trigger. He is thwarted by the brave Gary Cahill, who has no reservations in sticking his head in the mixer to clear for a corner. 

22 mins - All quiet at the Reebok until the drummers decide it's time to create a bit of noise.

16 mins - Gretar Steinsson curls over a teasing cross which Aaron Hughes fails to deal with. Luckily for Fulham, no Bolton attacker gambled and it drifts behind for a goal-kick. 

13 mins - Wanderers half clear a Fulham corner and the ball lands at the feet of Dickson Etuhu. No concerns there as the midfielder blasts the ball high over the crossbar.

11 mins - Samuel advances from left-back and whips in a dangerous looking cross. Mark Schwarzer claims comfortably. Perhaps Samuel would have had better results if he had played the ball along the ground. 

9 mins - A relatively slow start to the game by Bolton, as Fulham enjoy most of the early possession. The visitors knock the ball around confidently but find Wanderers rearguard as solid as usual.

5 mins - Zamora beats the offside trap and looks to play a chipped cross into the penalty box. Samuel and O'Brien mop up the danger between the two of them.

3 mins - Elmander is bundled to the ground 30 yards from goal. Matt Taylor steps up, but he can't replicate his goal against West Ham and it hits the wall.

2 mins - John Pantsil commits a schoolboy error as he throws the ball straight on the floor. Chris Foy has no hesitation in blowing for a foul throw.

3pm - We've had all the pre-match formalities and we are just about to get underway. The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, who have returned from service in Iraq and Afghanistan have received a fantastic reception on their parade around the Reebok ahead of kick-off.  

2.45 - The full-time whistle has been blown at Old Trafford and it seems the the title race is well and truly open. Liverpool have destroyed Manchester United, winning 4-1 after they had slipped behind early in the game.

2.37 - Just a quick message from the lads at the Bolton Wanderers international academy, who have been coaching and passing on the Wanderers word all over the globe. They offer their thanks to anyone who has taken part in any of the courses and hope to see them again soon.

2.36 - The teams have just been announced and the big news is that Gary Megson makes one change from the last outing at Stoke City, replacing Fabrice Muamba with Ricardo Gardner. 

Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Samuel, Andy O'Brien, Cahill, Steinsson, Gardner, McCann, Taylor, Mark Davies, Kevin Davies, Elmander (Subs: Al Habsi, Puygrenier, Makukula, Riga, Shittu, Hunt, Muamba)

Fulham: Schwarzer, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Johnson, Zamora, Murphy, Hughes, Etuhu, Dempsey, Davies (Subs: Zuberbuhler, Nevland, Gera, Kamara, Dacourt, Stoor, Smalling)
