The Trotters raced into a 2-0 lead with early strikes from Kyle Dempsey and Dion Charles before second-half strikes from Elias Kachunga and Gethin Jones put the icing on the cake for Ian Evatt’s side. The win ended Bolton’s 34 year wait for silverware - but they wouldn’t break one EFL Trophy record.

Despite having the biggest crowd of any game in European football on Sunday afternoon, the recorded 79,389 attendance was still 5,632 short of the EFL Trophy’s all-time record attendance set by Sunderland and Portsmouth fans in 2019.

That day saw 85,021 fans watch an enthralling game as Pompey defeated the Black Cats on penalties.
