Bolton win away at West Ham

Kevin Nolan and Ivan Campo scored to secure all three points and a 2-1 victory for Bolton over West Ham.

Wanderers withstood fierce first-half pressure from the home side and made the most of their good fortune by taking their chances after the break.
  
Teddy Sheringham gave West Ham hope with an 89th minute penalty and was inventive throughout, but he was let down by the poor finishing of his team-mates, Marlon Harewood above all.
  
West Ham began brightly, using the width of the pitch well to mount their attacks.
  
Juusi Jaaskelainen did superbly to tip away Benayoun's left-foot curling effort from an acute angle in the 12th minute, and the Finn was then lucky to see his uncertain punch from Matthew Etherington's cross fall to team-mate Giannakopoulos.
  
The home side continued to show greater attacking threat, and the unmarked Harewood somehow volleyed over the top from six yards after N'Gotty had failed to deal with Etherington's floated cross from the left.
  
West Ham were making plenty of headway on the flanks, but their final ball was disappointing.
  
In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Speed did brilliantly to head the excellent Sheringham's teasing cross behind for a corner with Mullins lurking at the far post.
  
And then Jaaskelainen made a fantastic instinctive save to deny defender Danny Gabbidon, whose back-heel following Benayoun's drilled cross appeared to have wrong-footed the Finn.
  
West Ham put the Bolton defence under more pressure at the start of the second half but as the half continued, Bolton started coming more into the game.
  
Spaniard Campo, who had replaced Diouf in the 52nd minute, cracked a loose ball towards the top-left corner from 30 yards, only for Hammers 'keeper Roy Carroll to produce a brilliant save to tip it onto the bar.
  
Bolton took the lead on 59 minutes. Jay-Jay Okocha's stunning 20-yard volley was blocked on the line by Benayoun, but Davies reached the loose ball first and fed Nolan, who steered the ball into the roof of the net from seven yards.
  
Hammers manager Pardew brought on Aliadiere for his debut as well as Bobby Zamora as he went in search of a goal.
  
A thrilling burst down the right by Aliadiere earned his side a free-kick 20 yards from goal but it meant only more frustration for the Hammers as Sheringham's effort hit the underside of the bar with Jaaskelainen rooted to the spot.

The introductions of Aliadiere and Zamora gave West Ham new verve, and Jaaskelainen excelled himself again to turn Nigel Reo-Coker's low drive behind 10 minutes from time.
  
Bolton wrapped up the win in the 85th minute when Campo won the ball in midfield and fed Okocha, who sent him clear with a return pass that Campo slotted coolly past Carroll.
  
The home kept their heads up and earned a small consolation in the 89th minute when Nicky Hunt felled Mullins in the box leaving Sheringham to slam home the penalty.
