Substitute Mason Burstow scored an injury-time penalty to give promotion chasing Bolton a dramatic 2-1 Sky Bet League One win over Leyton Orient.
The Hull loanee had only been on the pitch for five minutes before converting his spot kick awarded for Azeem Abdulai’s handball.
Burstow’s eighth goal of the season was also his first in 19 hours of football since last October’s double against Peterborough.
Abdulai was at the centre of another controversial incident after Theo Archibald cancelled out Thierry Gale’s 46th-minute opener within three minutes.

But 30 seconds after the re-start Gale’s low left-foot shot brought him his sixth goal of the season only for skipper Archibald to quickly equalise from Ollie O’Neill’s cut back.
