Saturday, 10 November 2007
BERLIN, Nov 9 (AFP): Goals either side of half-time by Bayern Munich's forgotten hero Lukas Podolski was not enough as Bolton Wanderers fought back to claim a 2-2 draw in Thursday night's UEFA Cup clash.
Podolski, 22, was given a rare chance to impress Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld after an injury-hit 12 months and the youngster seized his chance with both hands with an equaliser in Munich before putting his side ahead.
But their Group F rivals Bolton had come to the Allianz Arena to get a result and after Ricardo Gardener gave them an early lead, Kevin Davies scored a late equaliser as both sides claimed a point.
