Premiership round-up: Striker Kevin Phillips dragged Southampton out of the relegation zone at the Reebok Stadium when they grabbed an unlikely point with a 1-1 draw.
Phillips' equaliser stunned high-flying Bolton and put his club ahead of West Brom on goal difference. The home side were hoping to move into fourth place and went ahead through Stelios Giannakopoulos but then squandered a host of chances.
At the Riverside, FA Cup Final referee Rob Styles handed Middlesbrough a late reprieve when he awarded a controversial late penalty to deny Fulham victory, the match finishing 1-1.
The official belatedly pointed to the spot for keeper Edwin van der Sar's challenge on Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, although the incident clearly took place outside the box, and Bolo Zenden fired home from the spot with a minute remaining.
American striker Brian McBride had put the visitors ahead seven minutes earlier with a well-taken goal after missing two gilt-edged chances in the opening 45 minutes.
