'Know him well enough' - Manchester City goalkeeper verdict given after Bolton Wanderers clash

Ian Evatt believes he now knows Manchester City youngster James Trafford well enough now to know that he was not seriously injured in Bolton Wanderers' clash to Cambriddge United but believes the goalkeeper made a fantastic stop to keep the League One side in the encounter.

In a first half which did not sparkle, Wanderers came closest to taking the lead firstly through Jack Iredale's deflected effort which Amadou Bakayoko almost got on the end of. Then Elias Kachunga volleyed over from the edge of the box as the deadlock remained at the break.

Early in the second half, Trafford produced a marvellous save to deny Harvey Knibbs the opener. Wanderers broke forward not long after and Dion Charles eventually blasted over, while Gethin Jones nodded wide from close range from a set piece which could have seen Wanderers go ahead.
