Match Report: Southampton 0-0 Bolton Wanderers
17.10.26, 19:00 Updated 17.10.26, 19:19
Bolton Wanderers secured a hard earned point against Southampton at St Mary's, becoming just the second side this calendar year to stop the Saints from scoring.
The host's had the better of the chances, but Bolton had their own with both Josh Sheehan and Ruben Rodrigues going close in the second-half.
The biggest talking point does involve Rodrigues, for different reasons. The midfielder appeared to handle the ball in the box, blocking a Leo Scienza cross in what almost should have been a penalty, one the referee seems to have missed.
Despite the chances, Wanderers were well worth their point, holding strong with an impressive defensive performance, joining Millwall as the only other side to stop Southampton scoring at home in 2026.

A lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan, this club is the reason I began my journalism career. Since sitting in the stands as a kid over 20 years ago, I have gone on to work for the likes of the BBC and The Telegraph before everything led me back to here, to the football club I love.
