Afolayan, Bodvarsson and Dempsey give Bolton Wanderers dressing room view of AFC Wimbledon win

Bolton Wanderers made a welcome return to winning ways with a convincing 4-0 demolition of AFC Wimbledon as they bounced back from the midweek loss to Burton Albion in style.

Wanderers took the lead in the first half thanks to Jon Dadi Bodvarsson's header as he scored his first goal for Bolton.

Dapo Afolayan then added a second after the break, before Dion Charles clinically finished to put Wanderers three goals to the good.

And Amadou Bakayoko came off the bench to net Bolton's fourth as Wanderers narrowed their gap to the play-offs to seven points, thanks to results elsewhere in the day going their way.

Wanderers are next in action this Tuesday again at the University of Bolton Stadium when they will aim to make it two wins on the bounce with the visit of Lincoln City.

And after the Dons game, members of the Wanderers dressing room took to Twitter to have their say on the victory and a big three points at home.

Afolayan posted: "Big way to bounce back from Tuesday night! Great performance from the boys and another goal! Congrats Jon Dadi on your first goal!"

Bodvarsson posted: "My first goal for the club today and a fantastic win! Thanks for your brilliant support."

Bakayoko posted: "Great way to bounce back let’s stay positive on to the next one +3, thank you for the support as always."

Kyle Dempsey wrote: "Great win today! What a way to bounce back. Top class from all the boys. Feel like I’m starting to grow each week in a Bolton shirt. Now onto Tuesday night. Fans top class again!"

James Trafford wrote: "Back to winning ways and nice to get a clean sheet."

Aaron Morley wrote: "Another big win and clean sheet at home. Onto Tuesday now."
