Bolton 5-0 MK Dons: Wanderers hit five past Dons to move into third in League One
Tuesday 14 February 2023 22:45, UK
Clean sheet specialists Bolton recorded another home shutout but devastatingly turned defence into attack in a 5-0 Sky Bet League One rout of MK Dons.
Ian Evatt's side moved up a spot to third to sit just six points off an automatic promotion place after a fifth-straight win following Saturday's 5-0 whitewash of Peterborough with their biggest home league success this term.
Manchester City teenage loanee Luke Mbete - on his home debut - headed home his first senior goal, one of five Wanderers' defenders to score.
Skipper Ricardo Santos, whose brace against Posh was his first goals in 118 Bolton appearances, made it three in two after seven minutes from Declan John's corner.
The visitors' set-piece frailty was exposed by Mbete's strike from another John delivery before Gethin Jones made it 3-0 after 28 minutes.
