The Overreaction: Bolton Wanderers 2-3 Bristol City - A grim Halloween

Bolton Wanderers fell apart, conceding two goals in the final stages to lose 3-2 to Bristol City. Steven Schumacher's team had the lead but Chris Forino's injury saw the Whites fall apart with Sam Bell and Scott Twine found the net to condemn Wanderers to a second straight home defeat.

Bolton Wanderers collapsed in what can only be described as sickening fashion, to lose 3-2 to Bristol City at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Poor defending saw the Robins take the lead as the Whites failed to stop Jason Knight's cross from finding Dom Ballard. Bolton hit back before half-time, taking control of the game as Josh Sheehan scored a superb hit.

Wanderers front-foot play was rewarded as Sam Dalby gave the hosts the lead, one they should have kept hold of.

After Chris Forino, who had just returned, limped the side line with another injury, Bristol City were allowed back into the game.
