Play by play
- 92'
<b>FULL TIME</b> A win that takes Bolton out of the drop zone, and it was fully deserved too. Liverpool was more than lacklustre and there will be serious questions asked of their defending. But take nothing away from Bolton - they were excellent, and they move out of the relegation zone after only their second home win of the campaign.

- 90'
Two minutes added.
- 89'
A big wrestling match between Wheater and Carroll, the crowd then burst into "what a waste of money".
- 88'
Another chance for Eagles as he cuts inside and has a clear sight of the far corner but his bender is high and wide.
- 87'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ngog comes off to a rousing ovation after a good display, Kevin Davies replaces him. Good to see him back.
- 85'
Downing's cross is blocked. He hasn't made much impact since coming on.
- 84'
Carroll has had a poor second half, another lay off doesn't find its target and Gerrard looks more than a little irked.
- 83'
Eagles nearly makes it four after a jinking run inside onto his left foot. The ball flicks Skrtel and drifts wide of the far post.
- 82'
Gerrard fouls Petrov then tells the Bulgarian he's not very good (in a far less polite way than that).
- 81'
Great play nfrom Petrov to nutmeg Johnson and streak clear, he finds Eagles and has Ngog in support but is caught in two minds and eventually fires a shot wide.
- 80'
Ten minutes left to salvage something for Liverpool.
- 79'
Now Gerrard gets the greedy bug when he had numbers with him. Far too much space in between Bolton's defence and midfield then.
- 78'
Another good run from Bellamy but he gets greedy and shoots when he had Gerrard square, Carroll at the back post and Downing to his right.
- 76'
A goal now for Liverpool would be interesting - Bolton's brittle confidence would be sorely tested.
- 75'
Bellamy tries to find Kuyt but he is offside.
- 74'
Liverpool are not happy with the referee - and they've every right to be at that last decision - but they have been masters of their own downfall today.
- 73'
Oh dear Andy Carroll - a great ball from Gerrard, a cross from Downing and Carroll totally misses his kick. Gerrard follows in, is barged off the ball by Reo-Coker but Bolton get the free kick. Crazy decision.
- 72'
Too cute from Bolton on the edge of the box, as they try and pick out an intricate pass but Eagles gets it all wrong.
- 71'
That's more like it from Agger - a piledriver from 30 yards that skims the top of the bar.
- 70'
What a terrible effort from Reo-Coker, it wasn't even close to the corner flag it was that bad - ten yards away from it. Throw in.
- 68'
Another half chance for Carroll goes begging.
- 66'
Bellamy gets down the left and crosses and Knight nods over his own bar to concede a corner.
- 65'
Ngog tries a shot on the turn but doesn't catch it cleanly.
- 64'
