The FA Premier League's dubious goals panel has reviewed the goal credited to Bruno N'Gotty during Wanderers 2-2 draw with Leicester City at the end of December as an own goal by Foxes defender Ben Thatcher.


N'Gotty was originally credited as the man who got the final touch to Youri Djorkaeff's inswinging ball however the panel have all agreed that this was not the case and Welsh international Thatcher will now be officially credited as Wanderers first goalscorer during the clash.

A last minute goal from substitute Les Ferdinand was enough to rescue a point for the Foxes as Wanderers looked to be heading to victory thanks to Spaniard Ivan Campo's second half effort.
