Captain Gethin Jones scored his first Sky Bet League One goal for almost a year to help promotion-chasing Bolton beat Wycombe 2-1.
The Australia international, recently returned from Asian Cup duties, netted a superb 32nd-minute header from Nat Ogbeta's cross after the visitors had impressed early on.
Jones' previous third tier goal had been another fine header on Valentine's Day, 2023.
Bolton's win was sealed by substitute Jon Dadi Bodvarsson in stoppage time, before Luke Leahy scored a penalty for the visitors.
Ian Evatt's side also needed some vital interventions from goalkeeper Joel Coleman.

Coleman, handed a home league debut with Nathan Baxter injured, produced three first-half saves; the best of them denying Dale Taylor a fine solo goal.
Wycombe came close to a 70th minute equaliser but Taylor fired wide with just Coleman to beat and that was as close as the Chairboys came to rescuing a point.
Paris Maghoma almost doubled Bolton's lead with a stinging drive before Bodvarsson made sure of the points from Kyle Dempsey's assist in the first minute of time added on.
Coleman's hopes of a clean sheet disappeared seven minutes later when Leahy converted his spot-kick, awarded after the goalkeeper had brought down substitute David Wheeler.
