Bolton continued their home hoodoo over West Ham to upset the form-book with a 2-1 win. Going into the fixture, Gianfranco Zola’s Hammers were tipped as firm favourites having lost just once in seven games while Gary Megson’s Trotters ironically held a reverse set of results with just one win in seven league outings.
Man of the match:
Despite defeat, West Ham’s captain for the day Scott Parker gets the gong for a lung-bursting performance that consisted of several key challenges and an excellent goal to add.
Moment of the match:
Sixty seconds in which Bolton went two goals to the good. It proved the difference as the Trotters held on for victory.
Goal of the match:
Matthew Taylor opened proceedings with a superb, customary, free-kick. His left-foot curler will definitely be a contender for ‘goal of the week’.
Talking point:
Footballing hoodoos rule the roost over the form-book. West Ham came into the game favourites, but left empty handed at the ground where they have yet to taste victory.
