A MISTAKE from goalkeeper Robert Green helped Bolton climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of West Ham.
Gary Cahill's effort from the edge of the box seemed harmless enough, and Green looked set for an easy catch, but the England goalkeeper let the ball slip and Ivan Klasnic tucked away his fourth goal in four games, giving Bolton a 2-1 lead. Bolton had gone ahead through Lee, only for West Ham to hit back through Alessandro Diamanti. But Klasnic's gift from Green and a third by Cahill sealed three points for Bolton.
