Woe for Nolan as Bolton fly high

20 November 2010 19:00
Kevin Nolan's big return to Bolton turned sour in spectacular fashion. The midfielder gave away an early penalty and could do nothing to prevent his old club soaring to the dizzy heights of fourth in the Barclays Premier League with a sensational 5-1 win. Kevin Davies hit a brace from the spot and in-form Johan Elmander also scored two as Owen Coyle's men brushed aside the beleaguered Magpies. Chung-yong Lee was also on target while Andy Carroll pulled one back. Newcastle finished with 10 men after the late sending-off of Fabricio Coloccini. Nolan's first appearance at the Reebok Stadium since his £4million move to Newcastle in January last year had started with a rousing reception from the home fans but quickly turned sour as Chris Hughton's men slid to a dismal defeat.
