Northampton Town had a second home defeat in 4 days after a 4-2 defeat by Bolton.

Having missed multiple chances in a 2-0 defeat by Mansfield Town in their last game, Jon Brady’s side fell behind early when John McAtee put the visitors in front.

Bolton arrived chasing a third win in a row and they would extend their lead through George Thomason.

Eoin Toal made it 3-0 on the hour mark before Dion Charles added a fourth goal in the final ten minutes.

Northampton would grab two late goals to make the scoreline more respectable, with Tom Eaves and then Jon Guthrie both scoring in second half stoppage time for the Cobblers.

But the pair of goals came too late to stop Northampton from sliding to defeat.

The results see Northampton slide to 19th and just a point above the relegation zone ahead of Saturday’s trip to the currently second placed Wrexham.
