Tottenham Hotspur twice fought back from a goal behind to claim a hard-earned point from Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.
Ricardo Gardner gave the home side the lead as early as the second minute, hammering home on the rebound after Carlo Cudicini had saved Chung-Yong Lee's shot at the far post.
Niko Kranjcar volleyed home after Peter Crouch's knockdown to level the match in the first half.
And although Kevin Davies completed a flowing Bolton move to put the Trotters ahead again midway through the second period, their lead lasted just five minutes before Vedran Corluka headed in a Niko Kranjcar corner.
The draw means Spurs move back into the top four alongside Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, although they have played two games more than fifth-placed Manchester City, Arsenal in sixth and Aston Villa in seventh.
Bolton are up to 12th, but are still only two points clear of the relegation zone.
