Bolton secured a Sky Bet League One play-off berth with a match to spare thanks to a 2-0 victory over 10-man Fleetwood at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Wanderers completed their league double over Scott Brown’s visitors courtesy of a Promise Omochere own goal and sixth of the season from midfielder Kyle Dempsey.
Victory for Ian Evatt’s side, coupled with Peterborough’s failure to beat Bristol Rovers, cemented the Trotters’ top-six position.
Wanderers, nervy from the previous home defeat by Accrington, relaxed when Omochere was adjudged to have put through his own net after 18 minutes.
