Bolton Wanderers remain in the mix in the top half of League One and on the cusp of the play-off places after a win at home over Shrewsbury Town.
Wanderers followed up the midweek win over Charlton Athletic with three points against struggling Salop.
Antoni Sarcevic put Bolton in front in the first half before Dapo Afolayan doubled Wanderers' advantage before the break.

Sarcevic gave away a penalty for a foul on Shaun Whalley in the second half, but Ryan Bowman's penalty was saved by Joel Dixon.
Salop did halve the deficit just before full-time thanks to Luke Leahy's free-kick, but Wanderers held out to pick up three points in a 2-1 victory.
Despite not holding out to keep a clean sheet, Ricardo Almeida Santos put in an impressive performance at the back and Wanderers fans on Twitter were united in their praise of the central defender following the victory.

Reece Scholes wrote: "That 2nd half was probably more difficult because of Gethin Jones missing, people take for granted the attacking and defensive graft that lad puts in every game. Not saying Izzy played bad, he’s just not a RB."
