Newspaper round-up: Fulham v Bolton

Here's how the daily newspapers saw our exit from the cup last night, along with links to the relevant articles.

If there is one thing that angers Lawrie Sanchez it is bad refereeing decisions, wrote Dean Jones in The Times, and the Fulham manager had plenty to complain about last night. A goal from Stelios Giannakopoulos decided the tie, but it was controversial as he appeared to push Paul Konchesky before scoring. "However it was a disallowed effort from Diomansy Kamara that infuriated Sanchez the most," he added. "The forward nudged the ball over the line after 97 minutes from a pass across goal by David Healy, only for Steve Bennett to rule out the strike on the advice of his assistant."

TV replays proved the officials were wrong, agreed Darren Lewis in The Mirror, who quoted Sanchez as saying: "I'm getting fed up with refs who come to little Fulham and disallow good goals for no apparent reason. Kamara was two yards onside when Healy hit it. It's another goal a referee hasn't given us. It's bloody ridiculous. These refs are costing us week in, week out. They're not up to the job and something has to be done about it."

Bolton had taken the lead through Danny Guthrie, making his first appearance since arriving on loan from Liverpool, after Sammy Lee's strugglers had missed two decent chances, noted Trevor Haylett in the Telegraph, but David Healy made it tough for them. "The Northern Ireland striker pounced 12 minutes from time to send the tie into extra-time," he wrote, describing it as a "cool finish" from a Seol Ki-Hyeon cross.

The Irishman was just warming up, wrote Richard Rae in The Guardian. "In the opening period he hit the inside of the post, and soon afterwards the bar, both times having beaten Bolton's goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi," he added. "But it was Stelios, with a low drive eight minutes from time, who won the game for his team."

It was a good result for Lee, according to The Sun's Gary Payne, who pointed out that victory was clinched despite nine first-team stars being rested, and quoted him as saying: "Stelios has scored some important cup goals over the years and that's a nice habit to have."
