Bolton 1 - 0 Wolverhampton
Zat Knight finally ended Bolton's Premier League goal drought as they moved out of the bottom three.
Bolton had not scored in the league for more than nine hours but Knight made no mistake, tapping in Chung-Yong Lee's cross from close range.
In a pulsating second-half Wolves twice hit the post as they poured forward, with first David Jones and then Kevin Foley denied by the woodwork.
But Bolton held on for a vital win to move above their opponents.
Owen Coyle had only tasted victory in the Premier League once in eight attempts since taking the reins at the Reebok, but he has got Bolton playing some attractive football.
On-loan Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was at the centre of most things the home side created, but it was Wolves who had the better of the early exchanges.
Matt Jarvis latched on to Kevin Doyle's neat through ball, but Jussi Jaaskelainen was alert to the danger and rushed from his line, forcing the midfielder to blaze high and wide.
Bolton had their first real chance on 16 minutes when Kevin Davies released Wilshere but his low effort lacked bite and Marcus Hahnemann was down smartly to pounce on the ball.

Wilshere turned provider midway through the first half, jinking into the penalty area before laying the ball back to Stuart Holden who sliced his effort wide from 20 yards.
After a slow start the game was ebbing and flowing nicely and seconds later Johan Elmander had a glorious chance for Bolton. Gretar Steinsson's cross bounced off the heels of Knight and dropped nicely for the Swede, whose rasping effort was smartly saved by Hahnemann.
The American goalkeeper had to be at his best again to thwart Kevin Davies effort from close range. The ball ricocheted out to Elmander and his effort was well blocked by Jody Craddock.
Within a minute it was Jaaskelainen who was called into action, taking no chances with Matt Jarvis' effort, tipping it round the post.
The goal came in first-half stoppage time and again Wilshere was involved. His effort was deflected over by Karl Henry and from the resultant corner, the ball came out to Chung-Yong Lee who left Adlene Guediora for dead, dribbled along the goalline and put the ball on a plate for Knight, who stuck out a leg to turn it in from close range.
Bolton came out of the blocks all guns blazing after the interval and Davies should have doubled his side's lead but his effort was saved by Hahnemann, who then had to dive at the feet of Holden as the Trotters continued to press for a second.

606: DEBATE

Wolves came within a whisker of levelling on the hour. David Jones was brought down by Paul Robinson 25 yards but picked himself up to smash in a thumping effort that cracked off the post and rolled along the line with Jaaskelainen beaten.
Visiting boss Mick McCarthy might have thought it was not going to be his day when Wolves struck the woodwork again midway through the second half - Kevin Foley driving in a venomous shot that looked in all the way but grazed the inside of the post.
One bit of good news for McCarthy was the return of Andy Keogh after two months out with injury, although the striker managed to get himself in the book just 30 seconds after coming on, after scything down Paul Robinson.
Wolves continued to press for the equaliser, while Bolton substitute Ivan Klasnic saw his spectacular volley fly just wide. But one goal proved to be enough for the home side, who have now made it three clean sheets in a row at home.
