Bolton 1-0 Shrewsbury: Josh Sheehan steers Trotters to victory
Saturday 22 April 2023 18:40, UK
Midfielder Josh Sheehan was on target with the only goal to boost Bolton's hopes of a play-off spot following a 1-0 Sky Bet League One win over Shrewsbury.
Marko Marosi's second-half save denied Dion Charles and the home side's top scorer also had a goal disallowed for a foul.
Another effort from Conor Bradley deflected onto the crossbar and Marosi saved from George Johnston.
With the frustration growing for manager Ian Evatt, Sheehan curled in a 25-yard, left-footed shot after 63 minutes to register his second goal of the campaign.
Bolton - beaten 3-2 at the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium last December - could have eased late nerves with a second goal.

However, for all their doggedness, Steve Cotterill's Shrews lacked a cutting edge and have won only once in their last 10 games.
Papa John's Trophy champions Bolton - who moved into fifth place as a result - have three more games to cement a top-six finish, including back-to-back home matches with Accrington and Fleetwood.
