FT: Fulham 1 Bolton 1

Hodgson: Home advantage

Full Time90+4 Full-time at Craven Cottage.

90+4 Nevland tries to beat O'Brien with a neat turn but the Irishman isn't fooled and that could be the last chance.

90+3 Taylor instead decides to deliver and it's a perfect one but Steinsson, completely unmarked, wastes the chance to win the game as he heads wide.

90+2 Hangeland is penalised for climbing all over Davies and Taylor has a chance to shoot from the freekick.

90+1 Four minutes have been added for stoppage time.

90 Duff collects a neat flick from Nevland and plays in Dempsey who slices his effort off target. He wanted it sooner from Duff.

89 Jaaskelainen is sharp off his line to win a race with Nevland, he was always the favourite though.

88 The game remains open but the threat of another goal is waning.

86 Bolton conjure up an attack of their own but it halts as Steinsson fails to spot the run of Davies.

85 Dempsey goes down in the box under a Cahill challenge but again he times it right, he's been fantastic today Cahill.

84 The Bolton defence back off as Duff streams towards goal and unleashes a fierce drive which narrowly misses the top corner.

83 Fulham on the ball and looking the more likely to score the next goal, Bolton are holding their own though.

81 Incidentally, Duff's goal took a nick off Cahill and is one for the dubious goals panel so to speak, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

80 Dempsey puts Steinsson under pressure but he deals with it, playing the ball back to his keeper.

79 An intriguing end in prospect here as both teams appear to be going for all three points.

Substitution78 Mark Davies comes into play for Cohen. Three Davies' on the field now.

77 Hangeland clears well at the back post from a long Bolton throw-in.

76 Bolton refuse to lie down and are on the attack immediately from the restart, they want the win.

Nevland slips Duff in on the wing and this time he shoots with his right foot, beating Jaaskelainen with a stinging effort into the far corner.

Goal75 GOAL DUFF!

Substitution69 Pantsil makes way for Simon Davies as Fulham step up their bid to break the trotters down.

68 Cahill gets across well to clear the ball from the foot of Dempsey.

67 Nevland shows why Hodgson stuck with him as a fierce snapshot from him brings the best out of Jaaskelainen.

66 Samuel does well to deliver after a short corner and Schwarzer's punch falls for Taylor who can't control.

65 Cohen wins a corner for Bolton in a rare second-half attack from them.

Yellow Card64 Jaaskelainen goes into the book apparently for time-wasting.

57 Dempsey almost scores with his head from Duff's corner but Taylor nods clear off the line.

Yellow Card53 McCann goes into the notebook for being late on Gera.

52 Duff fizzes in an effort on goal but it is blacked and Bolton clear the danger.

50 O'Brien is back in play and his first act is to foul Dempsey again.

49 Bolton are temporarily down to ten men but they defend the delivery with ease.

48 Dempsey wins a freekick for the home side but as Greening prepares to take, O'Brien requires some on field treatment for a head injury.

47 Fulham have started the half brightly with a handful of attacks, they look like they mean business here.

46 The hosts get the ball rolling once more at Craven Cottage.

Sky Bet Meanwhile, Clint Dempsey (15/2) and Erik Nevland (8/1) are favourites to score the next goal.

Sky Bet Fancy a bet on the outcome here? Here are Skybet's odds at half-time: Fulham 16/5 Bolton 10/11 Draw 19/10.

Bolton finished the half the stronger side but were not in this one until a moment of class from Klasnic sparked them into life. They haven't got a good recent record at this ground, so tune in for the second-half to see if they can hold out for a result this year.

Half Time45+3 Half-time at Craven Cottage.

45+1 Fulham are running out of ideas as Panstil shoots from range but only succeeds in knocking his own man over.

45 Bolton are now playing some nice link up football at the end of this half and will not want to hear the whistle at this rate.

44 Tyalor's delivery from out wide is a good one but no one gets a touch and Schwarzer takes the goalkick.

43 A long ball finds its way through to Jaakelainen harmlessly.

42 Dempsey goes down in the area after a tackle from Cahill, it's well timed and Bolton have a goalkick.

41 Dempsey is penalised for backing into Steinsson. Slightly harsh on the Armerican.

40 Fulham look to have ridden out a short storm and are now stroking the ball about as they were before they conceded.

38 Bolton aren't content with one as they're streaming forward now with renewed confidence. Gardner has possession on the wing.

37 Klasnic has rewarded Megson for his faith in starting him, he took his chance ever so well.

36 Samuel is penalised for a nudge on Duff.

Hangeland fails to clear and Klasnic takes full advantage as he controls, swivels and rifles past Schwarzer inside the box, a fine strike and Bolton have the lead against the run of play.

Goal35 GOAL KLASNIC!

33 Hangeland is lucky to escape a yellow for leaving a high foot in on McCann.

Yellow Card32 Greening lunges in and gets himself booked. There appears to be no contact but he was late as Cohen avoids the tackle.

31 Davies is alert to Fulham's quick freekick as he nods wide for a corner to the home side.

30 Gardner's cross is wayward but he had little options in the centre to be fair to him. Schwarzer launches a long throw to get on with play.

29 O'Brien's distribution from the back lets him down as the ball sails out of play.

28 Greening does ever so well to steal the ball off McCann and as Cahill backs off he is inclined to shoot, but he slices his effort well off target.

27 Schwarzer plucks the ball out of the air amid a minor good spell for the away side.

26 Taylor's freekick deflects off the wall and falls for O'Brien but his effort is well blocked by Pantsil. The Trotters make little of the resulting corner.

25 Gardner wins a freekick in a dangerous position and Bolton have a chance to change the pattern of the game.

24 The home crowd have upped their voices as their side begin to take control of the game, still no goals though.

Yellow Card23 Perhaps I spoke too soon - Steinsson goes into the book for bringing down Dempsey after losing possession to the American.

22 Steinsson does well to intercept an inviting through ball and proceeds in heading clear from the long throw-in. He's putting a shift in so far today the Bolton defender.

21 Cohen is penalised for a barge on Greening and the sides regroup.

20 Pantsil gets a talking to now as he almost loses his cool in a tangle with Taylor.

19 Duff's deliveries are causing the away side some difficulties and a set piece looks the most likely source of an opener here.

17 From the corner, Nevland almost scores amid a goalmouth scramble. Some heroic defending by Steinsson in the line denies Fulham an opener.

16 Nevland does well to stay onside and has won a corner for his side.

14 Jaaskelainen clears Steinsson's backpass under pressure from Gera.

12 A harmless long ball from the Bolton defence bounces its way through to Schwarzer who gratefully collects.

11 Samuel's nicely floated ball reaches its target in Davies but the striker is penalised for climbing over Konchesky.

10 Duff's delivery from the free-kick caused some problems for the Bolton defence but they scramble it away and Konchesky fires well over with the loose ball.

7 Pantsil's cross is put out of play by O'Brien.

2 Baird's floated free-kick is headed clear by Cahill and Bolton break.

1 Steve Bennett gets the game underway as Bolton look to attack from the off.

Up front, meanwhile, Klasnic is preferred to Johan Elmander as the Swede continues to struggle in a Bolton shirt.

As for the Trotters, there's no starting place for Sam Ricketts who must be content with a place on the bench while Gardner has shrugged off a calf strain to start.

However, there's no place on the bench for striker Andrew Johnson, who is reportedly nearing a first team return.

So, top scorer Dempsey returns to his advanced role behind Nevland in the absence of Zamora, who has failed to recover from the groin problem sustained during the victory over Blackburn.
