AN injury time strike by Temuri Ketsbaia broke Bolton hearts as Newcastle beat Wanderers 2-1 at St James' Park.

With the game level and the closing seconds ticking away Allesandro Pistone delivered a first time cross which was headed down by Alan Shearer.

Keith Branagan got down to the ball but lost it due to Darren Peacock's tough challenge.

All of a sudden the goal was gaping and Georgian Ketsbaia could not miss.

The Magpies had gone ahead through midfield ace John Barnes in the sixth minute, the ex-England international lobbing Branagan after getting in behind Andy Todd.

Nathan Blake equalised in the 72nd minute when he received a Jimmy Phillips ball, beat Peacock and fired low past Shaka Hislop.
