Bolton × Lincoln City · Championship

Bolton went down 0-1 at home to Lincoln City on Saturday 29 August at 15:00 BST, beaten by the only goal of a tight Championship afternoon. Ben House settled it on 66 minutes for the visitors, who arrived with a single decisive moment and left with all of it. Nothing else troubled the scoreboard from first whistle to last.

Lincoln never had to come from behind, and Bolton never got the equaliser that would have forced them to. House struck with better than an hour gone, which left the hosts chasing in the least forgiving stretch of the afternoon, when the clock works against you as hard as the opposition does. One goal, one game decided, a clean sheet for the visitors.
