But three minutes later, Ailton was on target as Bolton were punished for some sloppy defensive play.Ben Haim put Joey O'Brien under pressure with a bad ball and he lost possession to Tumer Metin, who immediately released Ailton. The Brazilian hit an unstoppable shot into the corner beyond goalkeeper Ian Walker.Bolton went behind in Bulgaria against Lokomotiv Plovdiv, only to battle back and secure a victory. Only Tal Ben Haim, Abdoulaye Faye, Radhi Jaidi and El-Hadji Diouf remained from the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge. Henrik Pedersen, Kevin Davies and Bruno N'Gotty, all carrying knocks, were on the bench. Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson was included in the Besiktas side which is without a first-team coach.
In the event, that was over-stating things, because although his side conceded an early goal, they rallied to earn a point with Jared Borgetti scoring his second European goal for the Wanderers. Allardyce made seven changes to the side which lost 5-1 to Chelsea. After two successive defeats in the Premiership and shipping seven goals in those games, Bolton manager Sam Allardyce was talking of a mini-crisis before heading to Turkey for last night's Uefa Cup Group H game against Besiktas at the Inonu Stadium. Frank Arnesen, speaking for the first time since he took over as director of youth development and scouting at Stamford Bridge in September following his controversial switch from Tottenham, has spelled out the ample extent of the new scheme which marks the second part of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's plan for world domination.. It is a statement of intent that will send a shiver of apprehension through competitors both at home and abroad. Chelsea's ambition to become the strongest team in the world will be underpinned over the next few years by an aggressive youth recruiting system, whose full extent has been revealed in the wake of the club's latest emphatic performance in Europe.
Substitutes not used: Knight, Maccarone, Johnson, Bates.Referee: E Berntsen (Norway).. There was more frustration for McClaren's side after 72 minutes when Hasselbaink had a goal disallowed after a hairline offside decision.Though Eduardo and Rogerio continued to create, and miss, chances, Boro looked composed on the ball and held on with a reasonable degree of comfort.Grasshopper Zurich (4-4-2): Coltorti; Mitreski, Stepanovs, Chihab (Toure, 82), Jaggy; Renggli, Cabanas, Dos Santos, Sutter; Eduardo, Rogerio. Substitutes not used: Jehle, Hurlimann, Schwegler, Denicola, Luetolf, Salatic.Middlesbrough (4-4-2): Schwarzer; Parnaby, Riggott, Southgate, Pogatetz; Mendieta (Queudrue, 78), Boateng, Doriva, Nemeth (Morrison, 67); Hasselbaink, Viduka (Yakubu, 85). Antonio Dos Santos missed a glorious chance after 41 minutes when he volleyed over the bar from just outside the six-yard box.Eduardo then headed over early in the second half, but his error was quickly matched by Nemeth, who shot wide when a simple pass to Viduka would have brought a second Middlesbrough goal. But his effort was ruled offside, a decision that looked dubious to say the least.The Swiss side managed to create some sustained pressure as the interval approached. Hasselbaink confidently slotted the ball home with a side-foot finish from just inside the penalty area.Middlesbrough continued to look threatening, with Hasselbaink's pace and strength impressing, but Grasshopper were unfortunate not to claim an equaliser after 22 minutes when the Boro goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer spilled a relatively routine Rogerio shot from outside the area and Eduardo reacted fastest to slot the ball in.
