Stelios rescues Bolton

This was their third successive draw and they may need a victory against Red Star in Belgrade next Thursday to progress. Yet with the clock running down at the Reebok Stadium Bolton were heading for the exit door.

Greece winger Stelios then made his mark to score only his second goal of the season and stun his fellow countrymen - a goal from Calvo a minute before half-time put Aris in the driving seat.

The visitors made their intentions clear as early as the seventh minute when Sergio Koke headed wide following a cross from Neto.

Bolton carved out a half chance in the 22nd minute when Gerald Cid released Kevin Davies but his header was deflected to safety.

A nice one-two between Mikel Alonso - who replaced the injured Gavin McCann - and Stelios saw Davies presented with a header at the back post. But he was unable to get enough power on his effort and Konstantinos Chalkias was able to make the block.

Aris took the lead a minute before the break through Spanish forward Calvo. He latched onto a clearance from Abdoulaye Meite and smacked a half-volley beyond Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Bolton, however, almost equalised in stoppage time when Andy O'Brien's header came back off the bar after Davies had flicked the ball on.

Megson made a double substitution in the second half, bringing on Nicolas Anelka and El-Hadji Diouf for Christian Wilhelmsson and Davies. But Aris nearly extended their lead in the 82nd minute when Nacho tried to chip Jaaskelainen but the goalkeeper clawed the ball to safety.

Bolton grabbed a dramatic equaliser in stoppage time through Giannakopoulos, who scored from close range after Alonso had hoisted the ball forward.
