Play by play
- 90'
FULL-TIME: Newcastle leave the pitch to loud boos, Bolton leave St James Park with all three points thanks to Diouf's quick-fire brace. They move back up to third place whereas Newcastle stay in fifteenth.
- 90'
Nolan hacks down Parker and is booked for a professional foul. You get the feeling big Sam won't mind that one.
- 90'
Ramage plays a long throw in to Bolton's box. Martins flicks it on but there is no-one in a Newcastle shirt there to grasp the opportunity.
- 90'
Newcastle continue to press. They have a corner on the other side now after Carr is tackled. the corner is terrible though and N'Zogbia's cross goes straight behind for a goal-kick.
- 90'
Four minutes of added time to be played.
- 89'
The corner from Duff is poor but he gets the ball back and has a second chance. This time he loses it and Bolton break.
- 88'
Parker's cross strikes Nolan and Newcastle have a late corner.
- 87'
Diouf comes off with boos ringing in his ears, not for the first time. He is replaced with Stelios Giannakopoulus.
- 86'
Ramage plays a poor cross in from the left and Bolton will be in no rush to take this goal-kick.
- 84'
Faye tracks back to shepherd the ball to Jaaskelainen as Ameobi threatened on the left.
- 82'
That is Emre's last contribution as Glenn Roeder, leaving it late, brings on Giuseppe Rossi.
- 82'
Emre hits a blistering shot from thirty yards which curls just wide.
- 81'
Duff tries a bicycle kick which looks as if it was intended to be a pass but ends up in the hands of Jaaskelainen.
- 79'
The Newcastle crowd are, understandably, growing more and more edgy and each stray pass is greeted with groans of despair. If anything Bolton look as if the combination of Anelka and Diouf could grab another goal from this now stretched Newcastle defence.
- 78'
Anelka drags Stephen Carr first one way then the other before hitting a fine shot from twenty yards out which just skids wide. He made the opportunity for himself from nothing and really, Newcastle should have not allowed him to get the effort in on goal.
- 77'
Diouf tries a bit of virtuoso trickery out on the right but is crowded out.
- 76'
Ramage's high ball finds the head of Ben Haim who guides it way from the Bolton penalty area.
- 75'
Campo's long throw is eventually dealt with and Newcastle have a goal-kick.
- 74'
Diouf, in lots of space, tries to roll the ball over to Davies. He can't but Bolton have a throw near the penalty area.
- 73'
Speed takes it but the referee blows for a free-kick to Newcastle before anyone can reach the ball.
- 73'
Anelka releases Davies down the right who wins a corner.
- 72'
Campo hits it in to the Newcastle penalty area and after Moore misses the ball, Bramble is the model of cool to chest it back to Harper in the Newcastle goal.
- 70'
Diouf is writhing around on the floor which usually means there is nothing wrong with him. He has been booked for diving and over-reacting to a challenge from Emre who is also shown a yellow.
- 69'
Anelka is fouled and Bolton take a quick one. Kevin Davies is blown for offside when he was clearly being played on by Stephen Carr. Another poor decision from the linesman on that side.
- 68'
Speed plays the free-kick low to the near post but Diouf can not control the ball and Newcastle have the free-kick.
