Green error helps Bolton to victory

BOLTON, England: West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green's extraordinary error helped Bolton Wanderers to a 3-1 victory over their relegation rivals at the Reebok Stadium on Tuesday.

Bolton, who climbed out of the bottom three on the back of the win, went ahead through Lee Chung-yong's second half goal before Alessandro Diamanti equalized minutes later.

But the decisive moment of the game came in the 77th minute when England international Green spilled a Gary Cahill shot in front of his face and Bolton's Ivan Klasnic pounced to make it 2-1.
