WANDERERS beat the snow, then produced a blizzard of goals to beat Wimbledon in a one-sided encounter at the UniBol.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Dapo Afolayan, Dion Charles and Amadou Bakayoko all got on the scoresheet in one of the Whites’ most dominant performances of recent years.

Now seven points off the play-off positions, Ian Evatt’s side shrugged off the disappointment of their midweek defeat to Burton Albion to return to their swaggering best.

Wimbledon haven’t won a league game in 12 and had taken just two points from the last 18 available away from home.

Added to that, they were missing five first team players through injury and suspension, and it always looked like being a long afternoon for Mark Robinson’s side.

After an off-night at the Pirelli Stadium a few days earlier, Bolton had a sharpness about them from the opening few minutes to suggest they were not going to let any points slip through their grasp again.

Bodvarsson and Afolayan sent early efforts whizzing past the post in what was an open contest, with wing-backs Marlon Fossey and Declan John making the majority of the running for the Whites.

Kyle Dempsey also went close from distance but just as the pace started to drop in the game, Wanderers found themselves fired up by a big penalty appeal turned down by ref Rebecca Welch.

Home fans showed their displeasure as the Tyne and Wear official waved play on after an apparent trip from George Marsh on Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

The anger quickly subsided as the Iceland international grabbed his first goal for the club, heading home Aaron Morley’s corner to open the scoring.

Welch turned down another penalty appeal on the stroke of half time when Paul Osew appeared to handle the ball on the edge of his own box.

Better was to come in the second half. Wimbledon’s only brief window into the game came shortly after the restart when James Trafford completely missed a cross which nearly dropped for Ethan Chislett.

Santos powered a header just over the bar and Charles squeezed a shot just wide before the second goal killed off the visitors’ resistance completely.

The goal was well worked, as Afolayan played in Charles, back to goal, then seized on the return pass and danced around the goalkeeper from close range before rolling in his 13th goal of the campaign.

Up until Eoin Doyle managed 19 in League Two last season, no Bolton player had managed more than a dozen goals in a single season since Michael Ricketts in 2002.

At that point, Wanderers had a chance to fill their boots.

Charles added a third, pouncing on a deflection 25 yards out and out-pacing his marker to slide his sixth of the campaign.

Wanderers attacked at will as the second half wore on. Morley fizzed a shot just wide, Bakayoko should have scored with a close range header and Charles had another penalty appeal turned down.

Evatt’s men continued to create and scored a well-worked fourth as they passed and probed on the edge of the penalty box before Fossey picked out Bakayoko to glance in his ninth of the season.
