McCormack rescues draw for Fulham at troubled Bolton
Bolton Wanderers 2 Fulham 2
Ross McCormack was Fulham’s saviour once again as he struck a late equaliser against the Championship’s bottom side.
On a difficult day for the club, following the death of former player and chairman Jimmy Hill, spirits were lifted when Luke Garbutt fired Fulham in front on 28 minutes.
McCormack was involved in that goal as well, robbing Bolton defender Prince-Desire Gouano before teeing up Garbutt for a right-footed drive which flew in from distance.
Fulham continued to threaten as Alex Kacaniklic clipped the crossbar a few minutes later while Tim Ream shot wide against his former club.
But troubled Bolton, who have won only once in the league this season, improved after the break and turned the game around with two goals in 13 minutes.
Both were scored by Zack Clough, the first coming just after the hour mark as he was set up by Mark Davies before he put Bolton in front from Liam Feeney’s corner.
But Fulham denied the hosts a morale-boosting win as McCormack fired in a superb free-kick, after Kacaniklic had been fouled by Emile Heskey.
