23.10.26, 22:00 Updated 23.10.26, 22:25 3 Minute Read
Bolton Wanderers were shown just what top Championship quality looks like as Middlesbrough put five past them at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Friday night.
Steven Schumacher's side were on the back foot from the first minute as Boro looked to get things done as quickly as possible. Aiden Morris opened the scoring after a strong move left him unmarked in the box.
It was two in a matter of minutes as Kim Hellberg's side continued to flex their muscles. A sublime move from the the team's frontline saw Championship top scorer Will Lankshear tap home from close range. At this point, Bolton had been stunned by their oppositions quality, but the third was more than preventable.

A lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan, this club is the reason I began my journalism career. Since sitting in the stands as a kid over 20 years ago, I have gone on to work for the likes of the BBC and The Telegraph before everything led me back to here, to the football club I love.
