Bolton Wanderers lose their first Championship game of the season as Lincoln City win 1-0 at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Missed chances were the story of the game after the Whites failed to make the most of significant waves of attacks. In an opposite to their previous fixture, Bolton dominated the game in the first-half but failed to find the back of the net.

The Imps started the second-half better, making it count as Wanderers lost their usual defensive structure for Ben House to score. Bolton would pick up the pace after conceding, but once again could not make their pressure count.
