Bolton declined to become blown off course after Howard’s wind-aided 80-yard kick seriously embarrassed Adam Bogdan, his counterpart, and left the site visitors looking in a 20th defeat in 25 top-flight games.
The previous Liverpool striker, David Ngog, marked his go back to Merseyside having a fine equaliser before Cahill, who's closing in on the ￡7 million proceed to Chelsea, fired a 78th-minute champion to earn his battling side merely a second win in nine league games. The end result lifted Bolton off the foot of the table.
Talks between Chelsea and Cahill’s reps have stuttered in recent days with Tottenham, whose manager Harry Redknapp was present at windswept Goodison, showing late curiosity about the ball player. However the England defender continues to be prone to leave the Reebok before Owen Coyle’s side go back to league action at Manchester U . s . on Jan 14.
“The clubs [Chelsea and Bolton] have agreed a fee. Gary’s reps and Chelsea only have had one meeting about personal terms,” stated Coyle. “It can’t happen to be simple for Gary however i thought he was magnificent and demonstrated tremendous desire.
“No doubt, we fell behind to among the freakiest goals I've ever seen. It could have been simple to have a pity party to live in but we demonstrated a great deal of character.”
Bolton move two places in the table, above Blackburn and Wigan, after ruining Landon Donovan’s Goodison return. Twenty-two several weeks since he was last observed in action for Everton, Donovan received a rousing reception from Goodison’s cheapest league crowd throughout David Moyes’s ten years in control.
Donovan had won every Premier League match he performed at Goodison throughout his first spell 2 yrs ago, including victories over Chelsea, Manchester U . s . and Manchester City. Despite making an earlier impact last evening, David Beckham’s LA Universe team-mate was not able to carry on that record as his two-month loan began in defeat.
Donovan forced an earlier save from Bogdan before teeing up Denis Stracqualursi for an opportunity.
Leon Osman forced an uncommon save from Bogdan before flashing another effort narrowly wide prior to the break. Everton’s frustrations increased when Phil Jagielka discontinued hurt three minutes before half-time, Jack Rodwell changing his England team-mate.
Donovan thought he'd won a problem as he went here challenging from Mike Ricketts but referee Phil Dowd waved away the house side’s strong appeals. Then, directly on half-time, Howard saved Everton as he refused Ngog following a defence-splitting go by Nigel Reo-Coker.
Using the gale-like conditions worsening through the minute, Bolton began to develop in confidence. After Rodwell, who later discontinued hurt, screwed an excellent chance in to the side-netting, Bolton’s Mark Davies was refused by Howard’s left leg.
Ngog was again left annoyed by Howard prior to the keeper grew to become an unlikely scoring hero within the 63rd minute. The American’s huge 80-yard clearance, from Sylvain Distin’s pass back, returned once before misleading Bogdan, who had been standing outdoors his six-yard area, and in to the goal.
Bogdan looked embarrassed while Howard was mobbed by his jubilant team-mates. Not too Howard is at the atmosphere to celebrate. “It’s a hardship on Adam Bogdan,” stated Howard later on. “It’s not really a nice spot to be and embarrassing. Personally i think for him. I’ve been beaten before with a goalkeeper and it is quite awful.”
Bolton demonstrated impressive character to snatch victory in the jaws of defeat. Ngog, who had been impressive, demonstrated great authority within the Everton area carrying out a clever flick by Davies before creating an ideal finish which required the smile off Howard’s face.
With 12 minutes left Cahill found the internet from a severe position following great work by Chris Eagles. Leighton Baines ended up being refused an equaliser through the woodwork in stoppage time.
“We didn’t deserve to stay in front and Bolton deserved to win the overall game,” stated the Everton manager, David Moyes. “It would be a freak that people were 1Up but we'd took it. But give Bolton credit - they labored a hardship on the end result and that we didn’t play anywhere near in addition to we've been. Aside from our goalkeeper and items of Landon, it had been tough to use whatever positives.”
