Mark Davies was unhappy about being subbed in Bolton Wanderers' 1-0 Carling Cup win against Tranmere Rovers.
Trotters midfielder Davies was the matchwinner and the Daily Mail says manager Gary Megson replaced him with Lee Chung-Yong, a decision the midfielder appeared to disagree with as he headed straight down the tunnel.
Meanwhile the appearance of former Bolton striker Michael Ricketts as a Tranmere substitute brought a chorus of boss from the visiting fans.
