Bolton 3 - 1 Stoke

Share Record signing Johan Elmander marked his debut by finding the target as Stoke got an indication of how tough life will be in the Barclays Premier League with a 3-1 defeat.

After 23 years of waiting to return to the top flight this was a wake-up call for manager Tony Pulis and his players.

Bolton, after all, just escaped the drop last season thanks to a five-match unbeaten run when it mattered most.

However, they looked a class apart after a sluggish start, with Gretar Steinsson and Kevin Davies joining Elmander on the scoresheet.
