Bolton Wanderers moved back into the League One play-off places with a 2-0 win on the road against MK Dons.
Wanderers took the lead when Gethin Jones was brought down in the box by Dawson Devoy. Dion Charles stepped up to thump home from the penalty spot and give the Whites the advantage.
The visitors doubled their lead after the break when Jones rose highest to head home from Jack Iredale's free-kick. The win could have been by a greater margin but Wanderers picked up a valuable three points which sees them rise to fifth in the table.

Here, we analyse the win from a Wanderers perspective and pick out the positives from an impressive performance on the road.
Ups
Charles off the mark in the league
No strikers had scored for Wanderers in League One so far this season before yesterday evening. Fortunately, the pressure had been eased by goals coming from other areas of the pitch.
But when Wanderers were correctly awarded a penalty on the half hour mark, Charles stepped up and ended the goalscoring drought for Bolton's strikers in the league. It was so well struck it nearly took the net out.
Charles perhaps could have had a hat-trick last night too. He took a touch before being challenged by Jake Tucker before he opened the scoring as an opportunity came and went.
He was denied by Jamie Cumming in the second half as well as meeting a Conor Bradley cross. Though he perhaps could have scored more, Charles is fully fit and firing now and is off the mark in League One.
Set piece goal scored
If there has been a criticism levelled at Wanderers since Ian Evatt took charge, it is that they do not score enough from set pieces.
