Chris Eagles rescued a point for relegation-threatened Bolton, who were given a stern test by Swansea.

Scott Sinclair gave the visitors a perfect start with a spectacular early opener, cutting in from the wing before unleashing an unstoppable curler.

Eagles soon had Bolton level as he arrived on cue to turn Martin Petrov's left-wing cross past Michel Vorm.

But Bolton were thankful for a series of Gretar Steinsson blocks, while the crossbar denied Swans' Danny Graham.

It took just six minutes for Swansea to take the lead with their first attack of the game.

Sinclair picked up the ball in space on the left wing, and cut in before unleashing a curling shot into the top corner beyond Adam Bogdan.

But Bolton, desperate for wins to maintain their Premier League status, responded with real character and soon levelled.

Petrov got away down the left wing before crossing for the arriving Eagles, who barely had to break stride as he side-footed into the Swansea net.

Gylfi Sigurdsson could have restored Swansea's advantage as he drove into the Bolton area, but Steinsson threw his body in the way to deflect the ball over the bar to safety.

Vorm then had to make an outstanding save to deny Petrov, diving low to his left to push away the Bulgarian's curled free-kick.

Bolton kept up the pressure and Kevin Davies saw his shot deflected just wide, but Swansea should have scored at the other end soon after.
