DROPPED RIGHT IN IT
A game with late drama including an injury-time goal and a red card brandished in the direction of Steven Reid, you say? There can’t have been a football fan paying attention to goings-on at the City Ground on Saturday who wasn’t immediately transported back to Bolton in August 2003. In a Premier League game featuring such blasts-from-the-past as Jay-Jay Okocha, Matt Jansen, Corrado Grabbi and Tugay ended with Dwight Yorke heading past Jussi Jaaskelainan to snatch a point for 10-man Blackburn, shortly after Reid had been dismissed for a late lunge on Stelios Giannakopoulos. Referee Andy D’Urso showed Reid the red card on his Blackburn debut and little could the midfielder have known that it would be over two decades before he would have another waved in his direction.
