Rhys Oates made a scoring return from suspension as Mansfield Town ended Bolton Wanderers' 17-match unbeaten home run with a 1-0 victory at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Oates, controversially sent off when Wanderers won 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Field Mill on December 9, scored the only goal after 43 minutes from close range after keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe flapped at Nathan Moriah-Welsh's corner.
Bolton's Wasted Dominance
Bolton had had the best of it until that point, winning 10 corners and dominating possession. Sam Dalby was denied by a superb early stop from Liam Roberts, who also saved from Josh Sheehan, with Bolton's two-goal Boxing Day hero firing narrowly over from 30 yards as well.
