Josh Sheehan scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to earn Bolton a thrilling 2-1 League One victory over struggling Rotherham.<\/p>\n
The Wales international had not scored this season but fired promotion-chasing Wanderers into a first-half lead.<\/p>\n
But Sheehan’s controversial strike was cancelled out in the 90th minute by Sam Nombe’s penalty after the substitute had been fouled by Cyrus Christie.<\/p>\n
Bolton looked like they would have to settle for a share of the spoils. But Sheehan popped up in the third minute of injury time to give Steven Schumacher’s side victory.<\/p>\n
Rotherham protested in vain that Wanderers’ opening goal in first-half stoppage time should have been disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n
However, but for Cameron Dawson they could easily have already been behind as he saved from Amario Cozier-Duberry, Joel Randall and Thierry Gale while Hamish Douglas cleared off the line from Randall.<\/p>\n
Rotherham started and finished strongly with Joe Powell and Ar’Jany Martha going close early on. Bolton keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe saved from Reece James in the second half before Nombe’s unlikely equaliser.<\/p>\n
But the Millers could not grind out a draw and Sheehan’s strike moved the Trotters up to fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Sheehan scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to earn Bolton a thrilling 2-1 League One victory over struggling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-372307","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
