Arsenal striker Robin van Persie rapped Bolton's approach to Saturday's 1-0 victory.
Van Persie said: "It's a massive win for us. It's down to our fitness, confidence and that we stayed focused and calm. Bolton clearly came just to defend but you could tell they were really tired.
"I know they only had 15 players available and understand they had their reasons for playing that way. But it's not the most positive approach."
