Bolton 1-1 Sheff Wed: MJ Williams denies promotion chasers victory in final minutes
Saturday 9 April 2022 18:44, UK
MJ Williams scored a 90th-minute equaliser as late show masters Bolton secured a 1-1 League One draw with top six contenders Sheffield Wednesday.
Darren Moore's visitors dominated for long periods and should have had more than Jordan Storey's 66th-minute goal to show for their control.
But Wanderers have a habit of netting in the closing stages and Williams' leveller was his team's 23rd goal in the final 15 minutes of action this season.
Like midfielder Williams, on-loan Preston defender Storey also registered his first goal for his current club.
He converted from inches after Sam Hutchinson headed Barry Bannan's 66th-minute corner against a post.

Wednesday should have gone on to claim a third successive win against opponents who have won only one of their last six games to fade out of the play-off picture.
Bannan, March's League One player of the month, had three chances in the opening 12 minutes and should have made it 2-0 14 minutes from time.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing had wasted another glorious first-half opportunity, though Bolton almost took the lead through Jon Dadi Bodvarsson's first-half header.
And those misses came back to haunt the Owls as Williams pounced in dramatic fashion.
