Bolton 3-6 Port Vale: Six different scorers for Vale as they win nine-goal thriller
Monday 7 December 2020 15:56, UK
Port Vale ended a run of five successive Sky Bet League Two defeats in spectacular fashion by scoring three times in each half in a 6-3 win at Bolton.
John Askey's Vale had not beaten Wanderers since 1988 while Bolton, who were chasing a sixth successive victory, conceded six goals at their current home for the first time.
The visitors' goals came from six different scorers, with Manny Oyeleke becoming the first after six minutes.
Trotters goalkeeper Matt Gilks, who had not been on the losing side since replacing Billy Crellin, made two fine stops before Leon Legge headed in David Worrall's cross after nine minutes.
Gethin Jones' first ever senior goal two minutes later suggested Ian Evatt's side could mount a comeback.
