Unofficial Champions of England: Bolton Wanderers 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur, 20/03/1996

Ruel Fox scores Tottenham's second goal


Since becoming English Champions, Bolton Wanderers had secured a 0-2 win away at Coventry City to give them hope in their battle against relegation.
Life is tough at the bottom though and it became a lot tougher after the visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Burnden Park.

Spurs took the lead in the 15th minute when David Howells played a one-two with Ruel Fox to burst into the box and score.

The second half and it was Fox's turn to get his name on the scoresheet, breaking through Bolton's paper thin defence to finish from an acute angle.
In almost a carbon replica of Fox's goal, Chris Armstrong made it 0-3 to Spurs.
Bolton did get two back through Alan Stubbs and Scott Sellars but too late.

Deposed Champions Bolton would soon be relegated but Tottenham could now enjoy their Fourth reign as English Champions.
