70 min Amy Woodruff was replaced by Mollie Crump with Darcie Greene moving from centre midfield to the left wing.
79 min Bolton attacked down the right wing which Sophie Crosby managed to break down with a tackle inside the penalty area which left her injured, play continued up to half way. Then Bolton came again with their No 9 taking the ball into the penalty area towards Sophie and getting her shot away which Skye Kirkham saved just inside her right hand post. There followed a sharp blow of the whistle as much to the surprise of many the Referee awarded a penalty to Bolton, he must have seen some interference or something for him to consider a shot on goal was not a clear advantage. From the penalty although Skye Kirkham went the right way it was hit low and hard under her dive. 3-3.
82 min Sophie Crosby still struggling was subbed with Emily Ward.
85 min Bolton No 8 threaded a ball through the Barnsley defensive line on the edge of the centre circle, their No 9 raced onto it just played onside by Sophie Bell. Lucy Turner sprinted back and just on the edge of the penalty D managed to stretch out her foot to knock the ball away but brought down the No9 as well. The ball went into the path of another Bolton player, Whistle blown and ball slotted into the goal. There was no hesitation by the Referee to brandish the red card at Lucy Turner for what could only have been DOGSO (denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity) which was strange considering the goal had been scored albeit after the whistle had blown. Bolton Management were incensed for the lack of advantage and Barnsley Management bewildered as they thought Lucy had touched the ball away and with the Barnsley goal keeper still to beat had it been an obvious goal scoring opportunity? A credit to Lucy though as she just accepted the decision handed over the armband to Annie Ward and left the field of play. Barnsley reshuffled with Sophie Bell moving to centre back, Mollie Crump to right back.
88 min Barnsley free kick from the left wing was hit by Rebecca Hornsey just over the top right corner of the goal drawing a groan from the Reds supporters.
89 min Mollie Crump is strong in defence shielding the ball out under pressure from Bolton left winger as they push forward for a winner.
90 min Bolton win a free kick on the left wing which is swung into the central penalty area, Sophie Bell rose well to head but unfortunately it flew into the top right corner of the goal instead of the intended direction away from goal. 3-4 Bolton Wanderers
95 min Barnsley continued press for the equaliser despite playing with ten players for the last 10 minutes. Another free kick from Rebecca Hornsey swung in from the left was met by a Barnsley head in the penalty area, this time it was Annie Ward who found Mollie Crump to cross back in and Darcie Greene stretched up to get her head to it but it went over the Bolton crossbar.
96 min whistle blown for full time. Both Bolton Wanderers & Barnsley players sank to the astro turf having put in exhausting effort, both teams playing their part in a cup game that had plenty of action and incident for supporters & management to mull over and reflect on ahead of playing each other again in the league on the same pitch.
Player of the match for Barnsley was Rebecca Hornsey with Emma Pilling named Bolton’s opposition player.
