Gardner inspires Bolton to victory

Ricardo Gardner eased the pressure on under-fire Bolton manager Gary Megson with a goal and an assist in his side's 2-0 win over Manchester City.

The Jamaican international replaced the injured Mustapha Riga shortly before half-time and applied the finishing touch to a wicked low cross from Gretar Steinsson in the 77th minute.

It was the Trotters' first goal for five hours and 50 minutes and Gardner then turned provider by crossing low for City skipper Richard Dunne to put through his own goal - sealing the hosts' first win since the opening day of the season.
