Tristan Abrahams opened his League Two account for the season with two goals at Bolton
Tristan Abrahams struck twice in the second half as Newport County moved up to third in League Two with victory at winless Bolton.
Striker Abrahams capitalised from close range to give County the lead after Bolton keeper Billy Crellin could only parry Joss Labadie's shot.
Bolton thought they had levelled a minute later but Nathan Delfouneso's goal was ruled out for handball, summing up a poor afternoon for Ian Evatt's side.
Abrahams netted his fifth goal of the season with another close range finish after Crellin spilled Ryan Haynes' effort.
Bolton are 22nd after a third consecutive defeat while Newport turn their attention to Wednesday's EFL Cup fourth round tie against Newcastle United.
Newport County manager Michael Flynn:
"I thought it was an excellent performance. We could have scored six or seven and Tristan could have had a hat-trick. It was a superb away performance against a team that I'm sure will come good.
"We can look forward to it {Newcastle game} now after that performance and a great result."
