So despite their financial worries, Bolton head into the New Year with three points and a first win in 18 games thanks to Gary Madine.

Work head for Paul Lambert, but with his first transfer window about to open at Blackburn you would imagine he might be given room to bring in some players.

If you missed anything today, you can read the run down on Steve Marshall's match report.

Thanks for your company this afternoon.

Bolton have beaten Blackburn thanks to a wonderful goal from Gary Madine.

A hugely entertaining Lancashire derby and the Wanderers have a second win of the season. They still sit bottom of the table but that will be a massive relief to Neil Lennon and everyone who follows the club.

Tom Lawrence hit the post late on for Rovers who played their part in an open match.

Liam Feeney wins a free-kick for Bolton battling with Marcus Olsson on the halfway line and is that enough for Bolton to secure three points?

Nathan Delfouneso's cross is headed out to Liam Feeney but the Bolton winger loses possession.

Chris Taylor has a couple of goes at getting the ball in but it is blocked and then hacked away.

So, so close for Blackburn...

Ben Marshall's drive, Chris Taylor sets up Tom Lawrence but his shot takes a deflection and hits the post but bounces back into the arms of Ben Amos. 

That was almost in slow motion as it went towards goal.

Another five minutes to be added on here... where has that come from?

No bother, another five minutes to enjoy!

One way traffic right now with only Jason Steele inside the Blackburn half.

Ben Marshall's stretching foul though gives Bolton a relieving free-kick away.

Chris Taylor on for Adam Henley, the man whose hand Josh Vela's strike hit, for Blackburn.

Can the forward inspire something for the visitors?

Another Blackburn half chance.

The free-kick comes in and Grant Hanley's header takes a deflection on its way towards goal but Ben Amos is alert enough to change direction and take the ball in.

Bolton charge forward on the counter attack now with space in behind.

The cross comes in from the right and Josh Vela smashes it in first time, it hits the hand of the Blackburn defender as it looked to be heading towards goal - that touch sends it just wider for a corner and the referee ignores the penalty appeals.

Another view of the Gary Madine goal it was such a good volley on the spin to give Bolton the lead.

Right now though they are having to withstand a number of Bolton attacks, with the management feel the need to change things up?

Bolton sitting deeper and deeper at the moment. 

Paul Lambert's side are parked in the Wanderers half and have two corners, the second of which Grant Hanley heads over.

Tom Lawrence opts for power over placement on the edge of the six yard box and it flies over the crossbar from Craig Conway's right wing cross.

Blackburn throwing longs of red shirts forward for the final 10 minutes or so.
