Half-Time Report: Bolton Wanderers rally to lead Watford

Bolton come from behind to lead Watford 2-1 at the break of their Championship clash at the Macron Stadium thanks to goals from Zach Clough and Adam le Fondre.

Bolton Wanderers have come from behind to take a 2-1 advantage into half time of their Championship clash against Watford.

The Trotters started the game well as Adam le Fondre almost found a way through the Watford defence in the first minute, but his shot was well blocked by Craig Cathcart.

Minutes later, the striker collected a pass from Zach Clough and drilled an effort just over the bar.

The visitors came close to taking the lead when Almen Abdi raced through on goal after he latched onto a cross from the left by Ikechi Anya, but he was denied by a strong save from the legs of Andy Lonergan.

The Hornets took the lead against the run of play in the 24th minute as Odion Ighalo raided forward into the box and he curled an effort beyond the reach of Lonergan into the net.

Neil Lennon's men were inches away from a response as Heurelho Gomes failed to claim the ball from a corner and Feeney powered a strike towards the net, only to see his effort cleared off the line by Ben Watson.

The Trotters continued to push forward and Gomes this time produced a fine save to tip a stinging shot from Barry Bannan over the crossbar and keep the home side at bay.

However, the pressure finally told on the Watford goal as Bolton netted their equaliser. Zach Clough turned Feeney's cross home from close range in controversial circumstances, as visitors felt that the strike should have been disallowed for offside.

Lennon's men turned the tables on the visitors just before the break when they took the lead as Feeney again cause havoc down the wing, and his low cross was diverted past Gomes by Le Fondre.
