Bolton 2-1 Burton
Tuesday 27 January 2026 22:02, UK
Sam Dalby scored a dramatic winner as Bolton left it late again to earn a 2-1 League One victory over lowly Burton.
Hull loanee Mason Burstow had netted an injury-time penalty as Steven Schumacher's side defeated Leyton Orient last Saturday.
This time Dalby struck even later after his sixth goal of the campaign had put Wanderers in front five minutes into the second half.

Jack Armer's 69th-minute header had cancelled out Dalby's opener, which came after John McAtee's shot cannoned back into play off a post.
Bradley Collins denied Kyle Dempsey and George Johnston missed a sitter for the home side in an even first half.
However, former Gateshead star Kain Adom twice fired shots into the side netting as Burton always carried a threat.
Another superb Collins save from Dempsey prevented Bolton from doubling their advantage while JJ McKiernan hit the woodwork for the visitors.
Armer's goal was reward for Burton's endeavour but they gave away cheap possession and Dalby punished them in added time.
