Michael Owen rescued a point for Manchester United after Sir
Alex Ferguson's men twice had to come from behind against Bolton
at the Reebok Stadium.
Owen nodded home Nani's free-kick 16 minutes from time to ensure
United did not join the other victims on a weekend of shock defeats.
Yet it was hardly a pleasing outcome for Ferguson, who would have
hoped for better once Nani levelled Zat Knight's early effort but
instead saw his team fall behind again thanks to Martin Petrov.
As United have now conceded nine goals in five league games and
trail leaders Chelsea by three points, it was not the best of weekends
for them, nor an out-of-sorts Wayne Rooney, who was replaced by
Federico Macheda half an hour from the end.
Saturday's results could not have worked out any better for United
and the intent behind their attacking play was obvious from the
first kick, but defensively they remain unconvincing.
