Fleetwood Town 0-2 Bolton Wanderers

Second half goals from Dion Charles and Victor Adeboyejo gave Bolton Wanderers a well-deserved 2-0 win at Fleetwood Town.

The visitors dominated throughout in atrocious conditions on the Lancashire coast but had to wait until the 49th minute to lead, then seeing out the victory with little resistance and sealing it with a late goal from Adeboyejo.

Title challengers Bolton made all the running in the first half but failed to turn their dominance into goals.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson went closest as half-time loomed but his reaction finish from Charles' cross cannoned back off the post at close range.

The Iceland striker had also been inches away from turning home when Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch parried Randell Williams' shot.

Bolton did have the ball in the net after 25 minutes, Charles sliding in a cross from Josh Dacres-Cogley, but the offside flag cut short their celebrations.

Fleetwood, second bottom and without a league win since early November, offered little going forward with a weak shot from Phoenix Patterson, easily collected by Nathan Baxter, their only effort on goal.

It took Wanderers just four minutes of the second half to finally edge ahead. The ball fell to Charles in the Town box and his shot took a cruel deflection off Josh Earl, wrong-footing Lynch.

Substitute Adeboyejo doubled Bolton's lead after 83 minutes. Charles stepped over Kyle Dempsey's pass and Adeboyejo, who hit a hat-trick in their home win against Fleetwood in August, duly hammered in the second.
