Bolton Wanderers came from behind to return to winning ways in League One with a 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic.
Scott Fraser put the hosts into the lead early on after capitalising on George Johnston's error. But Conor Bradley struck not long after to put Bolton back on level terms.
The Whites went ahead before the break when Kieran Lee found the net. After half-time, Johnston helped to atone for his earlier error to score Bolton's third.

Wanderers also had to call upon James Trafford to contain the visitors, denying Jesurn Rak-Sakyi on a couple of occasions. The win sees Bolton sitting eighth in the table on 11 points.
