Bolton Wanderers are ahead at the break in their Championship match against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Falmer Stadium.

David Ngog nearly gave the visitors the perfect start when he was played through on goal but Tomasz Kuszczak denied him.

Chris Eagles then had a strike from long range that forced the keeper to push the ball over.

Bolton took the lead in the 29th minute thanks to an own goal from David Lopez after the Spaniard deflected a corner into his own net.

Kazenga LuaLua came closest to scoring for the home side when his effort came back off the bar.
