Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Cambridge United
- Published
Top scorer Eoin Doyle and captain Antoni Sarcevic scored first-half goals as Bolton extended their unbeaten run to 10 games with a League Two win over Cambridge United.
Ian Evatt's seventh-placed side are now four points off an automatic promotion spot after amassing 26 points from a possible 30.
Cambridge stay second but Kyle Knoyle's 80th-minute goal, courtesy of keeper Matt Gilks' handling error, was only consolation.
There was a sombre start to the game as Sarcevic and Us captain Greg Taylor laid wreaths to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Burnden Park tragedy. Thirty-three fans died and hundreds more were injured at Wanderers' FA Cup quarter-final second leg against Stoke on 9 March, 1946.
Once the action started Bolton were soon on the front foot. Callum Burton saved from Doyle, Declan John and Dapo Afolayan before the Trotters took a 37th-minute lead.
Sarcevic and Gethin Jones linked superbly and Doyle finished with an angled low right-footed drive.
Six minutes later Burton denied Afolayan but Sarcevic hammered home his seventh goal of the campaign.
Bolton could not maintain their high-tempo display but had already done enough to claim their latest three points despite Knoyle setting up a tense finish.
