Default Re: On This Day on Football History

Looking back at Barclays Premier League history, we recall Newcastle’s emphatic away win

13 October 2001 - Bolton Wanderers 0-4 Newcastle United



Newcastle United eased to a 4-0 victory over a Bolton Wanderers side who were forced to put midfielder Bo Hansen in goal midway through the second half.

With the score at 1-0, regular goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area.

Second choice Steve Banks had been injured in training the previous Monday and with no substitute keeper among Wanderers' substitutes, Hansen was forced to take his place between the posts.

His first act was to pick the ball out of the net after Laurent Robert scored direct from the free-kick awarded for Jaaskelainen's offence.

Newcastle, who jumped up to fourth in the Barclays Premier League table with their victory, took a 41st-minute lead through Nolberto Solano, who finished off a header from Alan Shearer after a cross by Robert.

The goal confirmed the Magpies' dominance as Jaaskelainen had already twice denied Craig Bellamy before they went ahead.

Ricardo Gardner missed a great chance to equalise in the 56th minute and five minutes later Jaaskelainen was shown the red card for handling Robert's pass to Shearer.

It was Shearer who made the match safe by heading in Robert's cross to make it 3-0 in the 71st minute with his third goal of the season.

Bellamy then wrapped up the match after being set up by Shearer.

The Magpies went on to finish fourth in the table and qualify for the following season's UEFA Champions league while Bolton avoiding relegation by four points in 16th position.
