Jack Iredale marks Bolton comeback with quickfire goal
Posted Sunday, August 06, 2023 by PA
Comeback defender Jack Iredale scored his first goal for the club as Bolton recorded their best opening day win for 12 years with a 3-0 Sky Bet League One success over Lincoln.
Australian Iredale had not played for last season’s play-off semi-finalists since injuring his knee at Barnsley on January 2.
But the ex-Cambridge star needed only four minutes to make an impact, heading in Aaron Morley’s corner.
The Imps sought a quick response and Ben House fired a shot into the side netting.
However, the Trotters were always in control and Randell Williams headed wide from debutant Josh Dacres-Cogley’s cross before the interval.
Lincoln’s set-piece frailty was evident again when Wanderers doubled their lead after 58 minutes. This time the unchallenged Victor Adeboyejo headed in from Williams’ corner.
Bolton could not match their 4-0 win at QPR on the first day of the 2011-12 campaign but they added a third goal 16 minutes from time as Lincoln’s new skipper Paudie O’Connor turned a cross from George Thomason – the substitute’s first touch of the game – into his own net.
