Bolton defeat Everton in five-goal thriller
Croatia striker Ivan Klasnic, seen here in September 2009, scored his first goal for Bolton Wanderers to help the Trotters to a 3-2 victory over Premier League rivals Everton.
BOLTON, England (AFP) - Ivan Klasnic's first Bolton Wanderers goal gave the Trotters their first home Premier League win this season as they saw off Lancashire rivals Everton 3-2 at the Reebok Stadium here on Sunday.
The match was all square at 2-2 when, with four minutes left, Klasnic struck the decisive goal.
Bolton looked on course for a comfortable win as goals from Lee Chung-Yong and Gary Cahill put them 2-0 ahead.
But Everton hit back with a superb shot from Louis Saha and the visitors then saw Marouane Fellaini equalise in the second-half before Klasnic ensured Gary Megson's side would take all three points.
