A menacing Eastleigh supporter nearly took the headlines during the 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers this afternoon – almost scoring a goal for the non-league hosts.

Championship side Bolton salvaged a reply in the FA Cup third round tie at the Silverlake Stadium thanks to Darren Pratley’s 87th equaliser following Dorian Dervite’s own goal.

But the match was nearly overshadowed when a supporter climbed over the advertising hoardings and onto the field of play.

Wearing a bright orange hoodie underneath a white jacket, the unnamed pest galloped through Eastleigh’s midfield and into the goalmouth – just as the hosts were attacking.
