'Should have been 10!' - Bolton Wanderers dressing room reaction to Ipswich Town 5-2 victory

Bolton Wanderers moved into third place in League One with a 5-2 thrashing of Ipswich Town on the road.

Wanderers went behind early on at Portman Road thanks to Macauley Bonne's strike, but got back on level terms thanks to Dapo Afolayan.

Eoin Doyle then put Wanderers ahead from the penalty spot, before Ipswich leveled after Bonne's shot went in off Ricardo Almeida Santos.

Afolayan then grabbed his second of the game on the stroke of half-time, before the returning Josh Sheehan added a fourth after the break, as George Johnston added a fifth to cap off a remarkable game which has left Bolton third in League One.

The Wanderers dressing room has reacted to the victory on Twitter and it seems to have been a happy place after the three points in Suffolk.

Amadou Bakayoko posted: "It should’ve been 10 it should’ve been 10!!!!!!"

Lloyd Isgrove wrote: "Ahhhhh what a day."

Elias Kachunga, who was racially abused on Instagram and which has been reported to the police, has thanked all those who have offered him messages of support over the past few days.

He posted: "What a performance from the team. Well deserved 3 points. I want to also thank everyone for the support over the last few days me and my family really appreciate it. Thank you for all of your messages I have seen them all!"

Goalscorer Sheehan posted: "Well that was enjoyable."

Gethin Jones posted: "What a performance."

Liam Gordon wrote: "Love it from the boys."

Double goalscorer Afolayan wrote: "Couldn’t ask for a better day! Two goals and a big win away from home! Thanks for all your support again!"
