[LNB]Wanderers themselves hardly set the Reebok alight. Indeed, the first half was tepid affair, meandering along much in the same way as the dense mist that enveloped the stadium. [LNB]Bolton's half was neatly summed up by a woeful effort on 20 minutes from Jlloyd Samuel. Finding himself in an excellent position on the left-hand edge of the box he cut inside on his right. [LNB]The home fans expected a right-foot shot to nestle in the back of Mark Bunn's net, but for some reason he cut back on his left and the chance was lost. [LNB]Three minutes into the second half Bolton snatched the goal they hardly deserved but which the clash so desperately needed. [LNB]Gretar Steinsson stormed unmarked into the box, latched onto a perfectly-weighted through ball from Kevin Davies and fired low past a helpless Bunn. [LNB]Stung by the goal, United took the game to Wanderers but they lacked the guile to open up the white rearguard. [LNB]Six minutes from time Johan Elmander - who had only joined the fray a few minutes before - killed the tie off with practically his first touch. [LNB]The ball looped into his path on the edge of the box. He took a couple of touches to bring the ball under control and rifled confidently home. [LNB]
