Bolton's manager risks FA probe for SQUARING UP to opposition player

Bolton manager Ivan Evatt risks an FA probe after being sent off for squaring-off against both the referee and an opposition player, according to reports.

The incident happened at full-time of the League One clash between Bolton and Shrewsbury town, after Evatt went to confront referee Declan Bourne who blew his whistle early injury time.

Bourne appeared to blow his whistle in the eighth minute of extra time, with time on the clock still remaining.

The mood quickly turned even further, when an incensed Evatt put his head into that of Shrews defender, Josh Feeney's.

It's believed Evatt was enraged by Feeney's attempts to get him sent-off, as the player brandished an imaginary card while the manager remonstrated with officials.

Bourne had little other choice to show Evatt a red card, as players and coaching staff from both teams rushed in to separate the melee.

Now, according to The Sun, the EFL manager is now facing an FA probe following the incident at full-time.

The match between Bolton and Shrewsbury wasn't any less dramatic itself, ending in a 2-2 draw on Saturday afternoon.

The home side came from 2-0 down to earn a point at the Toughsheet, and almost took all three points in injury time as they exerted continued pressure on the visitors in search of a winner.

The Shrews had scored twice within the space of eight minutes, after Feeney opened proceedings in the 20th minute. 

Jordan Shipley soon followed-up with a second to the visitors a lead that they held until half-time.

Wanderers fought back, however, with Kyle Dempsey scoring in the 47th minute, before Szabolcs Schon levelled on the 61st minute.
