Bolton Wanderers player ratings vs Oldham Athletic: Oladapo Afolayan, Antoni Sarcevic and Gethin Jones good

Matt Gilks - 6

Not a great deal to do in terms of saves but communicated constantly throughout as per usual.

Gethin Jones - 8

A threat going forwards on the right for Wanderers throughout and put in cross which led to opening goal.

Ricardo Almeida Santos - 7

Came out on top in one-on-one defending whenever it presented itself and another good performance a day after penning a fresh contract.

Alex Baptiste - 7

Had another decent evening at the back, aside from one stray pass which led to Lee being booked, but otherwise a solid showing from the veteran.

Declan John - 7

Had some problems against the tricky Bahamboula at the back, but caused issues for Oldham going forward.

Kieran Lee - 7

Had solid evening against his former club with some solid distribution of the ball - taken off just after the hour.

MJ Williams - 7

Had hand in second goal which was a 28 pass move and used the ball well throughout the game.

Nathan Delfouneso - 7

Low cross to tee up Jones for first goal and was fouled with very poor challenge by Jameson which led to red card. Had a good evening but was taken off before the end.

Antoni Sarcevic - 8

Captain put in the ball which led to opening goal with great vision and covered a lot of ground all over the pitch throughout the encounter

Oladapo Afolayan - 8

Grew into the game as first half wore on and unleashed absolute peach of a shot which led to second goal. Caused issues throughout the evening and looked dangerous.

Eoin Doyle - 8

Did the right thing and followed the ball in to slot home clinically against former club. Also put Clarke under pressure for opening goal.

Substitutes

George Thomason - 6

Youngster replaced Lee and had a solid outing when he came on against the 10 men of Oldham.

Marcus Maddison - 6

Came on for Delfouneso and had some moments where he showed glimpses of real class.

Shaun Miller - 6

Replaced Doyle towards the end - added some fresh energy and good holdup play at timees.

Arthur Gnahoua - 6

Came on for Afolayan and was energetic in closing stages.
