Dapo Afolayan leads Bolton Wanderers dressing room reaction to Ipswich Town win

Bolton Wanderers returned to winning ways with their first three points of 2022 as they completed a League One double over Ipswich Town.

They took the lead after the break when Kieran Lee struck to slot home after Aaron Morley's shot was saved by Christian Walton.

And Bolton made the result secure when Dapo Afolayan came off the bench to latch onto George Edmundson's poor backpass to slot home and ensure Wanderers have done the double over the Tractor Boys this season.

The result moves Bolton up a place in the League One table to 17th.

They are now five points clear of the drop zone and 14 from the play-offs.

Members of the Wanderers squad took to Twitter after the game to deliver their verdict on the win.

Goalscorer Afolayan and two debutants in the form of midfielder Morley and goalkeeper James Trafford all had their say on the victory.

Afolayan wrote: "10 for the season! Big win, clean sheet and a great performance from the boys!"

Morley put green tick emojis as he ticked off three achievements of the day: "Debut. 3 Points. Clean sheet."

And fellow debutant Trafford wrote: "Debut, 2-0 win, clean sheet, onto next week."
