Bolton Wanderers Vs. Blackpool: Martin Petrov Brings Bolton Within One

It’s not over yet at the Reebok, particularly with Bolton having reestablished some momentum. After Blackpool had controlled most of the second half, Bolton got a grip on the match around the 70th minute, with their play paying off in their first goal in the 76th minute.

That’s when left wing Martin Patrov found himself with a bouncing ball in the middle of the arc. One of the more skilled strikers of the ball in the league, Petrov calmly made sure he stayed on top of the ball. As a result, the finish looked easy, with the Bulgarian finishing into the upper-left hand corner of Blackpool’s net.

Since, Bolton has maintained the pressure, with Stephen Crainey having saved one ball off-the-line. On that play, Richard Kingson had come off his line to challenge a Bolton attacker that had broken through the right of Blackpool’s line.

Kingson, normally Mathew Gilks’ understudy, appeared to be injured on the play. After receiving treatment, the Ghanaian has stayed in the match but looks hampered as he tries to withstand the Trotter pressure.
