Wrexham are one game from Wembley again after beating 2023 EFL Trophy winners Bolton 1-0 at the Stok Racecourse Ground thanks to Andy Cannon's strike.

The hosts were never at their best but advance to a semi-final with defending champions Peterborough United after Cannon scored via the post in a contest Bolton had been dominating.

The visitors created the majority of the opportunities but found goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo in fine form as he denied Josh Dacres-Cogley and Wales international Josh Sheehan.

Wanderers paid for their missed chances when Cannon struck, giving Wrexham the chance to win the competition for the second time, 20-years after they first achieved the feat.
