Bolton draws 1-1 with Wolves in Premier League

Sam Ricketts marked his return from a 10-month injury layoff with a superb goal for Bolton in a 1-1 draw against Wolverhamption Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

The fullback was making his first appearance since rupturing an Achilles in February, and gave the hosts the lead with a curling shot into the far corner from 25 yards in the 22nd minute.

Stephen Ward sent a hard strike against the crossbar for Wolves before the visitors leveled less than four minutes into the second half when Steven Fletcher headed home Matt Jarvis' free kick.

Bolton had not drawn a league match since February, but it could have been worse as Tuncay's wayward header in front of his own goal was deflected onto the post by Mark Davies.
