Bolton earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against Newcastle thanks to a first-touch goal from Ricardo Gardner.
Gardner had only just been introduced as a half-time substitute when he raced into the box to slot home within minutes of the restart.
The game had been an end-to-end affair from start to finish and while Newcastle enjoyed their fair share of chances, Bolton possessed the greater cutting edge that would guide them to victory.
Indeed, the goal just after the break came as a big blow to Newcastle and it was only in the last 15 minutes that the away players recovered sufficiently to launch a comeback - however, by then it was all too late.
For Gary Megson, the win will be a welcome treat on the day that his new rolling contract with the club was announced, but for Newcastle the threat of relegation now rears its ugly head once again.
