Bolton return to the Championship after 7 years. |
After years of crisis, Bolton finally returned to the English Championship for the first time since 2019. Steven Schumacher's side delivered an explosive performance in front of nearly 30,000 home fans, concluding their play-off campaign with a convincing victory.
Bolton got off to a dream start when Ruben Rodrigues opened the scoring in the 3rd minute following a costly mistake by Stockport goalkeeper Corey Addai. However, the game quickly became tense when Adama Sidibeh headed in the equalizer for Stockport in the 29th minute, just minutes after the team had a controversial goal disallowed by VAR.
Despite the scorching weather exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, both teams played an exciting, attacking game. The turning point came in the 64th minute when Sam Dalby, who had just come on as a substitute, made the difference. Following a move by the striker, defender Kyle Wootton clumsily scored an own goal, restoring Bolton's lead.
As Stockport pushed forward in search of a goal, Dalby continued to shine with a spectacular overhead kick in the 81st minute, extending the lead to 3-1 and completely extinguishing any hope for the opposition. Not stopping there, Ruben Rodrigues completed his brace from the penalty spot late in the game after Josh Dacres-Cogley was sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The final whistle brought a memorable Wembley night to a close for Bolton. After several struggling seasons, this historically rich club finally found its footing again with a convincing return to the Championship.
