Under fire Bolton boss Sammy Lee has made a masterstroke as midfielder Ivan Campo made a shock return to his lineup and grabbed the 39th minute equaliser that cancelled out Tottenham's lead through Robbie Keane.

Robbie Keane fired Spurs in front at the Reebok, crashing home after Jussi Jaaskelainen saved from Jermaine Jenas. But the home side were level within five minutes as Ivan Campo marked his first start of the season by heading home El Hadji Diouf's free-kick.

Didier Zokora created the opening with a clever chipped pass over the static Bolton back line and Jermaine Jenas forced a fine stop from Jussi Jaaskelainen with a stinging snap shot.

But Bolton failed to clear their lines and Keane followed up with a fierce drive that Jaskelainen got a hand to but could not keep out.

Seven minutes later and Bolton levelled the scores; El Hadji Diouf was fouled by Ricardo Rocha and Diouf whipped over a deep free-kick which invited Campo to climb highest and crash a header beyond the reach of Paul Robinson.

Later on, Jussi Jaaskeleinen kept Bolton in the game after making a couple of superb saves and Sammy Lee will be happy with a point against a tough side, whilst Martin Jol will probably feel the draw was the right result as both men's futures remain in the balance.
