Aaron Collins scored a stoppage-time winner as Bolton came from behind to beat Blackpool 2-1.
Wanderers trailed to Kyle Joseph’s 33rd-minute header and struggled to shake off the hangover from a 5-0 defeat at Stockport before the international break.
But the Trotters improved significantly after half-time, with one-time Tangerines teenager George Thomason returning from a seven-game injury lay-off to score a spectacular equaliser.
Captain Thomason, who netted a stunning winner in the corresponding fixture last season, lashed home a superb right-footed strike from 20 yards in the 53rd minute.
Former Bristol Rovers favourite Collins hit the bar from close range following Thomason’s teasing cross after 64 minutes.
