Record signing Malik Mothersille helped Stockport to an opening 2-0 Sky Bet League One victory over Greater Manchester rivals Bolton.

But new look Wanderers will wonder how they left without at least a point, and potentially a first league win at Edgeley Park since 1998.

Former Peterborough favourite Mothersille marked his big money move in the second minute of first-half stoppage time before Kyle Wootton wrapped up the points after 89 minutes.

The Stockport new boy deflected skipper Oliver Norwood's shot beyond Teddy Sharman-Lowe to put the Dave Challinor's men in front.

Despite Bolton's opening period dominance, Wootton should have netted minutes earlier. But he had the final word with a late close range header from Danny Andrew's cross.

However Bolton, who won all five pre-season games, were unlucky as Xavier Simons struck the woodwork after six minutes.

Josh Dacres-Cogley miskicked six yards out while Corey Addai saved from lively Amario Cozier-Duberry and Carlos Mendes Gomes.

Max Conway drilled a stinging drive against the woodwork as Bolton searched a second half equaliser with Addai foiling Thierry Gale before Wootton calmed home anxiety.
