Anelka did well to break down the left and fire in a low cross from the byline, but Kelly should have cleared the bobbling ball with ease.

Instead, he mis-kicked completely, allowing Diouf to collect at the far post, turn inside the full-back and fire into the corner of the net.

It was two six minutes later as another defensive mistake let in Anelka.

Kapo then had Blues' best chance of the match when the ball broke for him on the edge of the area. He dribbled around Jaaskelainen but a combination of O'Brien and Hunt were able to clear his shot on the line.

Anelka was then gifted a third in injury-time after Blues gave the ball away in midfield. Nolan casually played in the Frenchman who fired home confidently.

"It is a great result for us - whether it was actually a true 3-0 or not I'm not sure. The game seemed a lot closer than that, especially in the first half, but you can't complain about winning 3-0. We started well but seemed to run out of ideas a bit. In the end we needed a few bits of quality to get us through."
- Gary Megson

"It was never a 3-0 game - Christmas came early for Bolton. Jussi Jaaskelaninen made a crucial save for Bolton and at the time it looked we could go on and win. I can't fault any of my players on work rate but to capitulate like that with those late mistakes is very hard to take."
- Alex McLeish

Nicolas Anelka
Two goals and an assist for the Frenchman in a dominating display.

Bolton Wanderers' renaissance under Gary Megson continued as they brushed aside Birmingham City 3-0. El-Hadji Diouf put the Trotters ahead with a calm finish before Nicolas Anelka took full advantage of a short throw-in by Johan Djourou to net a second before adding a third in stoppage time.
