Peterborough United boss Grant McCann felt one lapse of concentration cost his side in the loss to Bolton Wanderers and that the referee lost control of the encounter at times to the detriment of both sides.
Wanderers hosted Posh and went close to taking the lead in the first half when Gethin Jones headed against the post. Conor Bradley had earlier seen a good chance go wide.
After the break, Dion Charles curled over from outside the box, while Jack Iredale also saw an effort saved. But Wanderers went ahead thanks to Dapo Afolayan as his deflected effort bounced over the line to deliver the hosts a valuable three points.
