In the early afternoon kick off, John O’Shea and Roy Keane’s ‘Man Utd’ travelled to the Reebok to face Bolton Wanderers, and just when it looked like the visitors would slip six points behind the leaders Arsenal, up popped Solskjaer with a 90th minute equaliser which cancelled out N’Gotty’s 61st minute strike for Bolton {1-1}.
Lee Carsley was excluded from Everton’s team sheet at Goodison Park with Rory Delap's Southampton. Southampton took the lead in the first half and Everton’s ‘Radzinski’ responded with two goals in the second half to secure the points for the Blue half of Mersey side. Delap, due to injury, did not feature for the Saints.
