Ian Evatt’s Bolton Wanderers returned to winning ways in style as they comfortably saw off relegation-threatened Wimbledon 4-0 on home turf last Saturday.
In a one-sided affair, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Oladapo Afolayan, Dion Charles and Amadou Bakayoko were all on target to condemn the visitors to their 13th defeat of the season.
This followed a 3-1 defeat against 12th-place Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium Princess Way on February 13 which saw their seven-game unbeaten streak come to an end.

This turnaround has been owing to the solid job done at both ends of the pitch as they have scored 22 goals and conceded just five since a 2-0 loss against Wycombe Wanderers on January 11.
