BOLTON, England, Mar 2 (AFP): Ricardo Gardner scored with his first touch of the game to help Bolton boss Gary Megson celebrate his new contract with a 1-0 win over visitors Newcastle United at the Reebok Stadium.

Megson brought on Gardner at half-time and the Jamaica midfielder had an instant impact, scoring in the 47th minute from close range.

Gardner's third goal of the season moved Bolton up to 10th in the English Premier League table while Newcastle remain 15th, two points above the relegation zone.
