Bolton Wanderers scored a dramatic late winner as they secured a valuable three points on the road thanks to Amadou Bakayoko's late effort.

Wanderers travelled to Cheshire aiming to narrow the gap to the top six and keep their faint play-off hopes alive. In a first half which was scrappy in windy conditions at Gresty Road, Wanderers improved after the break and Dapo Afolayan struck the post as the visitors looked more likely to score.

After the game, Ian Evatt spoke to the press and here's his immediate reaction to the victory. You left it late? “It was never going to be easy, I think, and to be fair, it’s just as bad for Crewe as well.

They’re a team that try and play what I deem the right way. "These types of games on a pitch like that with the wind and the conditions, they’re always going to be tight and sometimes it’s set plays that are the difference.
