Bolton 3-1 Mansfield
Tuesday 3 December 2024 22:05, UK
Ian Evatt celebrated his 250th game as Bolton boss with victory as his team came from behind late on to beat 10-man Mansfield 3-1 in League One.
Dion Charles, Victor Adeboyejo and John McAtee struck in a devastating 10-minute spell after Town led through Hiram Boateng's first-half header.
Heading for a first win at Bolton since 1987, the Stags were then undone by Boateng's 70th-minute sending-off for a foul on Randell Williams - his second caution in 11 minutes.

Bolton were booed off after an abject first-half display which saw Boateng notch his second goal of the campaign from Lucas Akins' right-wing cross in the 34th minute.
It didn't get any better for the home side after the break as Adeboyejo flapped at a great chance from Jordan Bowery's poor back pass.
Mansfield, suffering a fourth successive league defeat, thought they had doubled their advantage but referee Seb Stockbridge ruled Boateng's effort hadn't crossed the line and Bolton finally rallied to claim victory.
