In the meeting of the two Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium, Wolves went ahead with a 30m shot from Alex Rae in the 30th minute. But Kevin Davies scored his third goal of the season five minutes from the end after collecting a throw in to capture a point as Bolton stayed unbeaten at home for the 10th game in a row. In spite of the point Wolves remains last with just two points.
"I'm angry," said Wolves manager Dave Jones.
"One lapse of concentration has let them back into it. We'd worked so hard to get three points today and could have been 2-0 up with better finishing. To concede from a throw in is absolutely ridiculous. We've got to stop switching off."
Malcolm Christie netted his first Premier League goal of the season in the 13th minute, beating goalkeeper Paul Jones at his near post after a 'Boro breakaway.
Saints striker Kevin Phillips was sent off in the dying minutes for kicking out after a foul as the Saints lost at home for the first time this season and dropped out of the top four.
"Every goal can be traced back to somebody's mistake but I'm not picking out individuals," said Southampton manager Gordon Strachan.
Scottish premier league
Henrik Larsson scored the winner as Celtic came from behind to beat Hibernian 2-1 in the Scottish Premier League Saturday, but finished with ten men after defender Bobo Balde was sent off.
Rangers remain at the top of the league with 21 points after a 3-1 win over Dundee. Celtic has 19 points, with Hearts in third with 13.
Celtic fell behind in the 38th minute when Mathias Kouo-Doumbe scored at close range from a Colin Murdock cross. Two minutes later, Celtic equalized through an Alan Thompson penalty, awarded when Stilian Petrov was brought down by Hibernian's Jarkko Wiss. Larsson scored the winner in the 51st minute with a close range strike.
Balde was shown a straight red card in the 70th minute for kicking out at Hibernian substitute Scott Brown. Balde will likely miss the first Old Firm derby against Rangers on Oct. 4. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill said he couldn't defend Balde's action.
"You cannot throw your legs up like that in this day and age," O'Neill said.
