Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Crewe Alex: Nathan Delfouneso and Ricardo Almeida Santos good

Billy Crellin - 4

Kept the deadlock early on by tipping Wintle's shot onto the bar but could have done more to keep out Finney's goal and made a hash of his punch which led to the third goal.

Alex Baptiste - 5

Had his hands full with the combination of Kirk and Pickering on the left flank which Crewe exploited throughout the game.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Failed to pick up Mandron enough for opening goal but otherwise looked fairly solid at the back with his reading of the game and made some good blocks.

Ryan Delaney - 6

Not afraid to get forward and was in the right place to make some decent interceptions.

Peter Kioso - 5

Was the more productive of Bolton's wing backs going forward but could have helped out Baptiste more with the threat Crewe posed on that side of the pitch.

Antoni Sarcevic - 6

Captain struggled to deal with the pace of the game in the first half - improved a bit after the break.

Tom White - 5

Failed to have an impact in the first half and arguably could have done more to prevent Finney's goal - replaced by Tutte before the end.

Liam Gordon - 6

Came into the team for the injured Harry Brockbank and struggled to make much impact going forward but looked alright defensively.

Ali Crawford - 5

Played in Delfouneso for the equaliser but didn't do a great deal otherwise - was replaced by Isgrove.

Nathan Delfouneso - 7

Isolated and crowded out early on but drew Bolton level with a fabulous solo strike and clinical when second chance came to him.

Ronan Darcy - 6

Lost the ball on the halfway line which led to the opening goal but made good contribution in build-up to Delfouneso's leveller

Substitutes

Shaun Miller - 6

Replaced Darcy after the hour and set up Delfouneso for his second goal.

Lloyd Isgrove - 6

Made return from injury lay-off and looked fairly bright.

Andrew Tutte - 5

Came on for White late on.
