Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Burton Albion - Afolayan great as Sarcevic and Santos also impress

Joel Dixon - 7

Solid when called into action throughout the encounter but had little to do in terms of saving chances.

Gethin Jones - 7

Got forward down the right well to link up with Isgrove and put in several dangerous crosses, especially after the break.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 8

Kept Kane Hemmings quiet in the first half and rarely put a foot wrong in commanding performance at the back.

George Johnston - 7

Generally solid defensively, but misplaced passes a couple of times in dangerous areas unnecessarily.

Liam Gordon - 7

Replaced the ill Declan John and had a solid stint at left back, particualrly after the break when he came more into his own going forwards.

MJ Williams - 7

Got on the ball well to start attacks off. Booked towards the end of the first half, but an otherwise good performance from the midfielder.

Antoni Sarcevic - 8

Captain looked good in possession and helped make things happen for his side throughout.

Kieran Lee - 8

Came in for first League One start of the season and had goal harshly chalked off in first half. Looked good in central midfield role.

Lloyd Isgrove - 7

Industrious as ever on the flanks and some good link-up with Jones at times.

Eoin Doyle - 7

Saw double effort saved by Ben Garratt. Led the line well with great work rate and pressing as expected.

Dapo Afolayan - 9

Caused Burton problems all evening long and Burton simply could not handle him. A performance with everything except a goal.

Substitutes

Elias Kachunga - 6

Went through the middle after coming on for Doyle. Nearly got on the end of a couple of chances.

Nathan Delfouneso - 5

Replaced Afolayan on the left but had little time at the end to make an impact.
