Early on, on the touchline, Gary Megson was going crazy with angst as he watched his side battle poorly against Boro. In contrast, Gareth Southgate was relaxed and anticipating his side scoring the opening goal of the game - but it wasn't to come.



Bolton snatched the lead courtesy of Gavin McCann’s goal after 59 minutes, and though Middlesbrough continued to enjoy much of the possession, Gary Megson’s men held out to claim an invaluable win in their efforts to avoid the drop.
