REDS UNFAIRLY HELD AT
THE REEBOK
Liverpool's 10-game winning run in the Premiership has come to a frustrating end
after they were held to a controversial 2-2 draw against Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok
stadium on Monday afternoon.
It took a late equaliser from substitute Luis Garcia to rescue a point for the Reds
but they'll make the short journey back to Merseyside ruing the fact they are not
celebrating a winning start to the New Year.
A Steven Gerrard penalty had earlier cancelled out Rahdi Jaidi's 10th minute opener
before former Red El Hadji Diouf restored the hosts advantage with a goal that looked like
being the winner until 'supersub' Garcia's timely 82nd minute intervention.
There's no doubt though that Liverpool deserved the win and they'll look back with
anger at the role referee Mark Clattenburg played in both Bolton goals.
Diouf appeared to handle the ball and also be in an offside position when he
netted, while Jaidi's opener came from a harshly awarded free-kick that Pepe Reina
uncharacteristically fumbled.
On a positive note the Reds showed great spirit and determination to fight back
twice and on another day, with another referee officiating, they would surely have got
their just desserts.
