Jay-Jay Okocha

On this day, in 2003, Bolton moved two points clear of the Premiership's relegation zone after a 2-0 victory over bottom-placed Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Wanderers went ahead in the 50th minute, as Jay-Jay Okocha's cross-cum-shot from the byline somehow sneaked in at Thomas Sorensen's near post. Henrik Pedersen doubled the lead five minutes later, as Sam Allardyce's side gave themselves a huge boost in their attempts to escape relegation.

Bolton ended the campaign in 17th position, two points clear of the drop, while Sunderland joined West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United in the Football League the following season.
