Bolton Wanderers 5-1 Salford City

Last updated on .From the section League CupBBC Russian21

Elias Kachunga scored one goal and assisted for a second as Bolton swept aside Salford 5-1 to reach round two of the Carabao Cup for only the third time in eight seasons.

Ian Evatt's Sky Bet League One side suffered a scare when their fourth-tier visitors took a 23rd minute lead through Brandon Thomas-Asante.

But Kachunga-inspired Wanderers, who hadn't conceded a goal in two previous meetings with their Greater Manchester neighbours, quickly hit back.

Without a goal since last November, the former Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield striker headed in Kieran Lee's cross after 31 minutes.

Kachunga's smart turn and cross then provided Icelandic favourite Jon Dadi Bodvarsson with a routine finish from eight yards three minutes before half-time.

Unbeaten Wanderers confirmed their place in the next round with three goals in the final half hour.

Jack Iredale, an interval replacement for Declan John, fired over a left-wing cross which Kieran Sadlier smashed home after 61 minutes.

Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley made it 4-1 with the game's best goal 13 minutes from time, firing past Tom King from 25 yards, two minutes after replacing Sadlier.

Dapo Afolayan's deflected shot completed his side's nap hand after 86 minutes only for Bolton to finish with 10 men after George Thomason's stoppage-time dismissal.

    Another confidence boosting win. Shows how strong the squad is when you can put out nearly two separate teams and wouldn't have happened in probably the last decade. Confidence is high going to Vale Park and have belief this squad can come back with three points. COYWM!!!

    I know absolutely nothing about the circumstances, but, your team is 5-1 up in stoppage time, how on earth do you contrive to get yourself sent off?

      Via a refereeing error. Replays show Thomason pinching the ball off the toes of the defender, who proceeded to make a theatrical performance of the following 50/50 contact. Firm but fair challenge, and a card easily rescindable.

      Division one is probably Evatts limit. He’s a lower league manager.

    ManC fan

    COme on! Want BOTH these teams in the PL ASAP. Salford, keep building. Bolton - are you turning the corner, at last?

    Just been reminded it's three years to the day since we put the kids out against Coventry to keep the club going. Come along way since and they'll never be forgotten. COYWM!!!

    BTW - did Bolton fans know that a certain "20 goals" led Coventry's attack that day....

    With all due respect to Salford, expected to win last night. Evatt's comments last night, "The goal made us Angry" is both a pleasing statement but also a worry.
    The first goal in games since Evatt's arrival has been make or break for us in games - so better to concede early. We can't afford to cruise! COYWM!
