For those of you not at the Reebok Stadium today or those that did not have the chance to catch the FA Cup Show after the fact, here are the highlights of the FA Cup fourth round match between Bolton Wanderers and Everton.

They don't show anything outside of the goals but it will give you an idea of how fortunate the Toffees really were to get past the Trotters.

The first goal came on just 18 minutes with Leighton Baines crossing into Victor Anichebe, whose shot was headed more towards the corner flag than the goal. Unfortunately for Bolton, Steven Pienaar managed to get his body in the way and very luckily deflect the ball past Andy Lonergan.

Bolton Wanderers would reply less than ten minutes later thanks to a surging run from Darren Pratley to get onto a ball in the corner. Pratley's low cross met Marvin Sordell's perfect run and the forward on form fired home brilliantly at the near post, past a rooted Tim Howard.

Bolton, who had an excellent match, were once again unlucky right at the death after they failed to clear a later corner. Zat Knight's half-clearance would eventually fall to John Heitinga who fired through nine (I counted) bodies and past a completely screened Andy Lonergan, who really could not do anything about it.

Unfortunately, because this match wasn't televised and longer highlights pretty much will not be available to the public, you'll miss just how strong Marcos Alonso was at the back, how much trouble Chung-Yong Lee caused on the wings, and how brilliant Josh Vela was in the center of the park.
