Bolton got their first win of the UEFA Cup group stages to move them up to top of group F, but they have played 1 more game than everyone else so it could go down to goal difference or even goals scored or head-to-head matches.
Gavin McCann got his first goal for the Wanderers just before half time when Stelios laid the ball off from a corner and McCann fired home. Another great performance from Ali Al-Habsi secured the win for Bolton.
I felt it was the right thing to do [to rest several first team players].
Some players who were out there are internationals and have played big games in their careers.
We knew they would be competitive and that’s how it turned out.
