Portsmouth scored late on at Fratton Park to secure a 1-0 win over Bolton and ease their relegation fears.
The breakthrough came from the corner of substitute Nadir Belhadj, although a possible touch from Bolton midfielder Gavin McCann and a scramble on the line from fellow sub Kanu made sure of the goal.
In truth Pompey would have been disappointed if they had not left the ground with all three points after enjoying the lion's share of the chances, but at 0-0 the Fratton Park faithful will surely have been dreading another missed opportunity.
But the 78th minute strike takes Portsmouth equal with Bolton on 37 points and Paul Hart's side will perhaps breathe a sigh of relief that they are now six points clear of the relegation places.
Bolton on the other hand are unlikely to be feeling too much pressure following the defeat, but if the loss sparks a string of poor results so late in the season then Gary Megson and his men could well be looking nervously over their shoulders in the coming weeks.
