Neil Lennon urges Zach Clough to find goals on the road

Lennon issues Clough challenge

Neil Lennon has urged Zach Clough to find his goalscoring form away from home after the teenager earned Bolton Wanderers a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

All six of Clough's goals this season have come at the Macron Stadium, and Lennon believes that the forward now needs to make the same impact on the road as Bolton look to pull further clear of the relegation zone.

"He needs to learn to score away from home now. This is me being hard on him," the Bolton boss told reporters. "But it was a great finish, wasn't it? He's probably not had a look where the keeper was.

"But it's instinctive; it's natural and it's something you can't coach. We started him in a slightly different position and he found it difficult to get in the game.

"I had to change things round and get him in a more central position. You have to remember he is only nine games into his career."

Bolton had lost three successive Championship games under Lennon for the first time before Saturday's win.
