The Bolton midfielder won a controversial penalty after falling under minimal contact from Roger Johnson, and Martin Petrov scored from the spot to level before the Trotters went on to win 3-2 on Saturday.

Kightly was convinced Willenhall-bred Davies, who left Wolves in a £1m move to the Reebok in January 2009, cheated to win the spot-kick.

"I think it was a dive. If it was the other way around, we'd have been claiming a penalty," he added.
