Kevin Davies earned Bolton three priceless points against West Ham in a lively encounter at the Reebok Stadium.
They should have led by half-time as Davies saw two headers cleared off the line and El-Hadji Diouf had a goal ruled out for offside.
Davies finally found the net after the break, poking home after Jonathan Spector had impeded his own goalkeeper.
Dean Ashton’s overhead shot tipped onto the bar was West Ham’s best chance in a frantic second half as Bolton held on.
The win leaves Wanderers two points behind Birmingham, who drew at home to Everton, and two points ahead of Fulham who remain second bottom despite beating Reading.
Fulham’s victory drags the Royals to within three points of Bolton who themselves still sit among the relegation places.
