Bolton Wanderers returned to winning ways in emphatic style with a 3-0 win on the road against Gillingham as they slightly narrowed their gap to the League One play-offs to seven points.
Wanderers took the lead at Priestfield in the first half thanks to a brilliant strike from Aaron Morley for his first goal as a Bolton player.
The Gills went down to 10 men midway through the second half when Daniel Phillips was shown a second yellow card.

And Wanderers capitalised with the extra man with goals from Declan John and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson before full-time in a scoreline where Bolton could have won by a much greater margin.
After the convincing victory, members of the Wanderers dressing room took to Twitter to react to the win in Kent.
As well as the three points, a common theme was dedicating the three points to vice-captain Gethin Jones and his family, who was absent from the squad due to being on compassionate leave following the death of his mother Karen.
Wanderers paid wonderful tributes to the Jones family after their terrible loss, donning black armbands and standing in unity on the edge of the centre circle in support of the club vice-captain.
And after the win at Priestfield, skipper Ricardo Santos held aloft a Wanderers shirt with Jones on the back of it in tribute to the family and support for such a highly regarded member of the squad and one of several classy touches on the day.
