JUST IN: Strong Salford City team defeats Bolton Wanderers with…………..
The opening goal occurred when N’Mai’s well-delivered cross from the left took an unfortunate deflection off a defender and sneaked in at the near post. Flint then made a couple of crucial saves to thwart attempts from Dan Chesters and Berkoe as Salford aimed to increase their lead.
Wanderers managed to level the score when Lewis sprinted behind the backline and calmly lifted the ball over Joel Torrance. Shortly after, the young player had another opportunity, this time in collaboration with Trevon Bryan, but Torrance thwarted his attempt with a save using his legs.
Chesters had a close chance for the hosts after a well-executed counter-attack, and just before halftime, Morton’s shot was saved by Flint. Salford resumed their dominance after the break, reclaiming the lead when Morton was set up and executed a clinical finish.
Morton then scored his second goal moments later, firing a shot after being set up by N’Mai. Despite Lewis’s efforts to pull one back with some skillful play by substitute David Abimbola, Torrance made a solid save to his right.
The game saw a couple more goals in quick succession, further distancing the young Whites from contention. Firstly, a corner seemed to go directly in, despite appeals for a foul on Flint. Then, Bolton was punished for losing possession in a dangerous area while attempting to build from the back, with Kyrell Malcolm applying the finishing touch.
In stoppage time, Flint made an impressive save from close range, but he couldn’t prevent the sixth goal, which came from Djavan Pedro’s towering header.
