90'
FULL TIME. Newcastle have won 2-0 at the Reebok. It's their first win since November 5th, but leaves Bolton in deep trouble inside the bottom three.
89'
Cabaye comes off after another impressive performance alongside Cheick Tiote in the Newcastle midfield.
88'
Newcastle sub: Perch on, Cabaye off.
86'
Bolton fans are streaming out of the Reebok Stadium as the result becomes ever more inevitable. Another damaging defeat for Owen Coyle's men.
84'
Newcastle sub: Shola Ameobi on, Obertan off
81'
Tuncay clears but the pressure is relentless from Newcastle at the moment.
79'
Bolton are pushing for a goal, but look very exposed at the back. Newcastle could easily poach a third, as Cabaye wins a corner.
76'
Bolton double sub: Tuncay and Davies on, Klasnic and Ngog off.
74'
Cahill and Ba have clashed here. Cahill is penalised for a foul, before brushing Ba with his boot as he walked away. Ba took exception and handbags have ensued.
72'
The ball may have taken a nick off Cahill before it went in, but it matters little. Newcastle have surely wrapped this one up in two devastating minutes.
71'
GOAL! It's two in two minutes for Newcastle and Demba Ba has it! Obertan drives forward down the right flank and crosses for Ba, who gets ahead of Cahill to tuck in from close range.
69'
GOAL! Ben Arfa scores for Newcastle! The goal finally comes courtesy of the substitute. Eagles loses the ball to Gutierrez, who finds Ryan Taylor wide left. Taylor crosses for Ben Arfa, who lashes the ball in with a superb first-time finish from 10 yards.
67'
Bolton sub: Eagles on, Muamba off. Owen Coyle looking to shake things up by introducing the creative Eagles. Will it be enough?
66'
The second half has been fractured, bitty and scrappy. One goal will decide it and Petrov almost provides the moment of quality with a delicious drive from 25 yards that just fails to swerve inside the far post. That was a sweet hit by the Bulgarian.
65'
Bolton's attacks are infrequent but the Trotters look just as likely (or unlikely!) to score when they go forward. What do you think?
64'
Ben Arfa is making an immediate impression here, taking up the role just off Demba Ba.
63'
Newcastle sub: Ben Arfa on, Best off. Alan Pardew he can add some quality to Newcastle's attacks with that change.
62'
Tiote is penalised for another foul on Reo-Coker. The Ivorian is treading a fine line here.
60'
You get the feeling one mistake - or moment of brilliance - will decide this one.
