Bolton starlet Ryo Miyaichi surprised by best afield award

Bolton Wanderers winger Ryo Miyaichi has shrugged off his man-of-the-match award for victory over QPR.

The on-loan Arsenal attacker was outstanding for the crucial win.

"I was surprised to be awarded man of the match to be honest - I think it should go to Ivan (Klasnic)," he said.

"Looking back on that goalscoring moment, I drifted inside and Chris (Eagles) gave me a good ball. When I chested it and turned, Ivan Klasnic was making a good run. I only needed to make a pass and Ivan finished it off.

"But this was a victory that we won together as a team. We all were united and during the game the fans we amazing. I really enjoyed it."
