Play by play
- 92'
Full time at the Reebok and Bolton win 1-0 to move up to third place in the Premiership.
- 92'
One final chance of the game from Alonso's free kick, which is just flicked away for a corner by Hierro, otherwise Riise would certainly have drawn Liverpool level. But, referee Rennie decides it is a goal kick.
- 91'
The fourth official indicates that there will be two minutes of time to be added on at the end of the second half.
- 90'
But, the free kick is disappointing and Bolton are able to clear, only for Nolan's late tackle on Alonso to be penalised with a caution.
- 89'
Bolton are not sitting back, instead they are bombing forward in search of a clinching second goal, although in doing that, they loose possession and Hierro is forced to crudely bring down Baros in his tracks.
- 88'
Another chance falls to Baros after excellent work by Cisse down by the right-hand corner flag, but the striker heads high over when well placed in the middle.
- 87'
Cisse misses a glorious opening for Liverpool, their best of the game, after a dreadful mistake by Jaidi, but the former Auxerre striker shoots over the bar with only Jaaskelainen to beat.
- 86'
Riise gives away a free kick on the touch-line and it is headed well clear at the back post by Josemi.
- 85'
Both Hierro and Campo, who used to play together in central defence for Real Madrid, are now sitting in front of the Bolton back four in defensive roles.
- 84'
A final change of the afternoon for Bolton, who take off skipper Okocha, replacing him with 36-year-old Fernando Hierro.
- 83'
It is now backs to the wall time for Bolton, hanging on to their slender 1-0 lead.
- 82'
Liverpool score what they think is an equaliser through Garcia after a lovely chipped through-ball by Hamann, but the linesman incorrectly rules the goal out for offside.
- 81'
Bolton are snapping at Liverpool's heels now with only nine minutes to go and are looking well worth the three points at present.
- 80'
Amazingly, Riise does exactly the same in attempting to pick out his skipper Gerrard.
- 79'
But, back come Bolton, until Campo's attempted ball over the top is overhit and goes out for a goal kick.
- 78'
Alonso now gives away a free kick, deep in Bolton's half, taken by N'Gotty, but headed clear by Carragher under pressure from Ferdinand.
- 77'
Garcia has a chance to pick out Cisse with a through-ball, but not for the first time this afternoon, the final ball is woeful.
- 76'
Substitute Ferdinand is looking to score in the top-flight for his sixth different club today.
- 75'
Baros tries to make a change to the scoreline by dribbling his way through into the Bolton box, but he is stopped in his tracks by Gardner.
- 74'
Liverpool are 16 minutes away from their first league defeat of the campaign, and their second in a week in all competitions.
- 73'
And Bolton make their second change now, taking off Stelios and replacing him with Liverpool-born Kevin Nolan.
- 72'
Bolton make their first change of the game, taking off goalscorer Davies and bringing on veteran front man Les Ferdiand.
- 71'
Campo's turn now to give away a free kick on the halfway line, but immediatley the ex-Real Madrid player wins back possession and puts the ball out for a throw-in.
- 70'
Alonso chips the ball in and there is hesitation in the home defence, but no Liverpool player reacts and it goes out for a goal kick.
- 69'
Free kick on halfway now to Liverpool after a late tackle by Hunt on Baros.
