EFL manager facing FA probe after marching over to referee and squaring up to opposition player in moment of madness

BOLTON manager Ian Evatt was sent off after a dramatic draw with Shrewsbury as he angrily confronted the referee AND an opposing player.

The Trotters dragged themselves back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with struggling Shrewsbury on Saturday in an intense League One clash at the Reebok.

The Shrews scored twice within the space of eight minutes with Josh Feeney opening the scoring in the 20th-minute mark before Jordan Shipley doubled their lead.

But Bolton fought back in the second half with Kyle Dempsey’s effort in the 47th minute.

And the hosts levelled things up on 61 minutes with Szabolcs Schon’s finish.

The Whites pushed hard for a late winner in front of a disappointed home crowd, who were especially frustrated during a dire first-half performance.

The fourth official indicated eight minutes of added time at the end of the match.

However, referee Declan Bourne blew his whistle the final sixty seconds still ticking down – with Evatt immediately marching over to the man in black to remonstrate.

An angry exchange soon followed as Shrewsbury ace Feeney appeared to urge the ref to show the Bolton boss a red card.

The 42-year-old tactician then squared up to the defender directly in front of the official.

And that was when Bourne showed Evatt a red card amid some angry scenes.

The EFL manager is now facing an FA probe following the incident at full-time.

Bolton are 13th in the League One table while Shrewsbury are third from bottom.
