New Brentford head coach Dean Smith watched from the stands as the Bees drew 1-1 at bottom side Bolton.

The visitors had led through John Swift' fine strike from the edge of the area inside the first 10 minutes but Neil Danns' equally impressive response in the second half meant they travelled home with a point.

On a cold night in Lancashire both keepers would be grateful that they were kept busy.

Amos' first task was to pick the ball out of the net from Swift's great strike after being teed up by Alan Judge.

David Button was forced into making two good saves from Shola Ameobi and Jose Casado as the home side looked to come back into the game straight away.

The Bees pushed forward again and Jake Bidwell's cross couldn't reach Swift before Lasse Vibe drew a good save from Amos when clean through.

Jake Bidwell had a golden chance for his first professional goal but his free header went wide of the post.

Bolton, whose players haven't been paid this month, rode the storm and hit back as Danns' powerful effort beat Button and went in off the post.

Shola Ameobi forced a good save from the Bees stopper before James Tarkowski made two well-timed blocks to keep the scores level.

Man of the match Amos made a fantastic save to deny Vibe after he was set up by Alan McCormack.
