Bolton Wanderers 20th | Coventry City 17th (20)
Bolton, back in the top flight after 15 years, have lost eight out of ten and look doomed. Keith Branagan has a brain-storm in the last minute and upends Whelan for Salako to score from the spot. City deserve to win in a stirring climax to a frantic relegation game in a blustery wind.
