Former Nottingham Forest striker shows he can still cut it with late winner

Bolton have wiped out their points deduction after former Nottingham Forest striker Daryl Murphy's stoppage-time winner saw off 10-man MK Dons 1-0.

The victory made it a third straight win for Wanderers - who started the campaign on -12 points after going into administration - and moved them on to one point for the campaign, 12 points from safety.

MK Dons appeared to have done enough to stop their three-match losing run when goalkeeper Lee Nicholls saved Murphy's 90th-minute penalty.

But three minutes into added time, Murphy turned in Thibaud Verlinden's cross to take Wanderers from negative numbers into the black.

MK Dons had been reduced to 10 men with 24 minutes left when George Williams was adjudged to have swung an arm at Verlinden.

Murphy, who left Forest on a free at the end of last season after two years, has made six league appearances for Bolton, scoring three times.
