Bolton Wanderers narrowed the gap to the League One play-offs to seven points with a convincing 3-0 win on the road against relegation-threatened Gillingham
Wanderers took the lead at Priestfield in the first half thanks to a brilliant strike from Aaron Morley for his first goal as a Bolton player.
The Gills went down to 10 men midway through the second half when Daniel Phillips was shown a second yellow card.

And Wanderers capitalised with the extra man with goals from Declan John and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson before full-time in a scoreline where Bolton could have won by a much greater margin.
Here, we analyse the win in Kent from a Wanderers perspective and the positives and negatives from the game for the Whites.
Ups
Sublime first goal for Morley
As first goals go, Morley's was quite a special one.
The move was started by MJ Williams who drifted over to the right flank to play in Marlon Fossey who would cause the Gills problems time and again throughout the clash.
Fossey played one of his now characteristic low crosses to a team-mate, but rather than putting it in the six-yard box or on the penalty spot, he found Morley on the edge of box.
Morley had a reputation for netting stunning strikes during his time at Rochdale and he has enhanced that with his first strike for Wanderers.
With one stroke, his first time shot curled into the far left hand corner, giving Gills stopper Aaron Chapman no chance.
It was a special strike and hopefully the first of many at Bolton for the January signing.
