The ref. did not get all the decisions spot on. What about the challenge from Campo on Mutu which allowed Bolton to get the ball and go on to get the winner. Campo when in high with studs showing and caught Muto on the inside off the thigh. If like you the ref did not see it, then his assistant was facing the incident and should have brought it to the ref's attention. The ref. also allowed blatant time wasting at every opportunity from the first minute. I have no problem with teams coming to defend with 10/11 players behind the ball, as that is part of modern day football. I also expect teams to waste time with 10/15 minutes left if they drawing or losing, but to start from the kick-off is a bit extreme
