Substitute Kyle Dempsey rescued a point for Bolton in a 1-1 draw at Doncaster.
Glenn Middleton fired Doncaster into a deserved lead early in the second half, only for Dempsey to level with the Trotters’ first effort on target 12 minutes from time.
The hosts had the better of the first half and skipper Owen Bailey drew a fine save from Bolton goalkeeper Tyler Miller with a flicked header towards the top corner.
Jay McGrath also tested Miller with a stabbed effort from the heart of the box.
Doncaster should have led in first-half stoppage time, but neither Middleton nor Harry Clifton could connect with Luke Molyneux’s low centre.
Middleton netted his first goal for Doncaster after 54 minutes. After seeing his first effort from Molyneux’s cross blocked, he lashed a shot beyond Miller from a tight angle.
Bolton drew level after 78 minutes when Dempsey lifted the ball over Ian Lawlor from Amario Cozier-Duberry’s cutback.
Both sides pushed for the winner but neither could carve out a clear-cut opportunity in the closing stages.
