South Korea international Lee Chung-Yong suffered relegation with Bolton in England's Premier League on Sunday after their 2-2 draw with Stoke City proved not enough to survive in the top flight.
The 23-year-old winger was an 81st-minute substitute with the scores locked at 2-2 but couldn't help his team find a goal, which would have kept them up.

Earlier, Jonathon Walters had put Stoke ahead in controversial circumstances after clattering into Adam Bogdan who had two hands on the ball for the opener, but Bolton fought back with two goals before the break through Mark and Kevin Davies.

However, there was more controversy when Bogdan was adjudged to have brought down Peter Crouch for a 77th-minute penalty which Walters converted, before Lee's introduction.

And the South Korean had a chance when he met Marvin Sordell's cross, but he sliced his volley behind.
