Bolton Wanderers dressing room reaction to Charlton Athletic win from Dempsey, Morley and Trafford

Bolton Wanderers made it six matches unbeaten in League One with a hard fought victory over Charlton Athletic.

Dion Charles put Wanderers in front early on after getting the better of Akin Famewo and rounding Craig MacGillivray to give the hosts the lead.

But the Addicks equalised when substitute Chuks Aneke rose highest to head past James Trafford.

However, Wanderers retook the lead and what proved to be the three points when Will Aimson headed home Aaron Morley's dangerous free-kick to give Wanderers 16 points out of their last 18 on offer.

Members of the Wanderers dressing room have taken to Twitter to have their say on the hard fought victory over the Addicks.

Making his home debut and first start, Kyle Dempsey wrote: "Felt great making my home debut! Big 3 points earned, we keep this momentum going! Fans were top quality again."

Morley posted: "3 points."

James Trafford wrote: "Good win last night."

Matchwinner Aimson was pleased to get on the scoresheet as Wanderers scored from a set piece, which has not been a common occurance over the past 18 months.

He told the club website: “It was a great feeling to score in front of that crowd and take the points but it was a collective effort.

“We’ve not been the most productive from set-pieces this season, so it was great as a team to score from a set-piece.

“We’ve spoken about set-pieces a lot. We’ve been working on them and we said on Saturday, which was quite an ugly game in ugly conditions, that a set-piece might win it for us.

“It wasn’t to be then but tonight it happened and we’re really happy with that. It just shows how important they can be.”
