Half-Time Report: Zach Clough brace sees Bolton Wanderers ahead at half time

Two goals in two first-half minutes from Zach Clough have earned Bolton Wanderers a 2-1 half-time lead over visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship this afternoon.

The visitors went ahead after only three minutes as Nouha Dicko was picked out by Kevin McDonald, leaving the striker to finish smartly with his right across the face of goal.

Bolton had a good chance to reach parity when Darren Pratley picked out loan signing Adam le Fondre, but he could only crash an effort off target without troubling Carl Ikeme.

The home side drew level in the 23rd minute through youngster Clough, who produced a world-class free kick that evaded the wall and nestled into the bottom corner.

The Bolton favourite went one better just a few minutes later to give his side the lead, having swivelled inside the box before firing past a helpless Ikeme to make it 2-1 to the hosts.
