Dempsey, Afolayan, Bradley - Five ups from Bolton Wanderers' impressive win over Wycombe
Bolton Wanderers got their first win of the new League One season with a 3-0 win over Wycombe.
The Whites took the lead in the first half when Kyle Dempsey finished to give the Whites the advantage following good work from Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley. They doubled their lead just before the break when Aaron Morley slotted home from Dapo Afolayan's pass.
Dempsey added his second after the break as Wanderers ran out worthy 3-0 winners. It leaves the Whites third in the League One table after two matches so far.

Ups
Afolayan unplayable
Afolayan is yet to open his goalscoring account for this season after being the club's top scorer last campaign with 14 strikers. Yesterday against the Chairboys, he did everything but score.
The attacker played upfront again alongside Amadou Bakayoko but appeared to have a license to roam across the forward line and to come deep to collect the ball. He caused Wycombe problems throughout his time on the pitch, drawing tackle after tackle as the visitors struggled to cope with him.
He notched a sublime assist for Morley's goal as he timed his pass to perfection for the midfielder to latch on to and finish. The attacker may not have got on the scoresheet, but it was one of those peformances from Afolayan where the opposition simply could not live with him.
