Sunderland were blitzed by Bolton, with the Black Cats suffering their heaviest-ever defeat in the third tier.
Bolton smashed the Wearsiders for six, with Dion Charles scoring twice, while Dapu Afolayan, Kieran Lee, Declan John, and own-goal from Danny Batth completed the humiliation at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Sunderland's players were jeered by the travelling supporters at full-time, and looked utterly crestfallen as they trudged towards the tunnel.
