'Never know when they're beaten' - Ex-Crystal Palace striker's verdict on Bolton's Fleetwood win

Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison believes Dapo Afolayan's winner for Bolton Wanderers against Fleetwood Town is evidence that the Whites do not know when they are beaten.

The Whites came from 1-0 down on the road against the Cod Army. Carlos Mendes Gomes had given the hosts the lead in the first half of the clash.

But Wanderers were the dominant side in the encounter at Highbury Stadium and got back on level terms thanks to Conor Bradley's equaliser. The Whites took a deserved three points when Dapo Afolayan struck deep in injury time to claim a 2-1 win.

The victory saw Bolton climb back into the play-off places in League One. Speaking as a pundit on the EFL highlights show on ITV, Morrison had high praise for both Afolayan and Ian Evatt's side.

Morrison said: “Afolayan scoring the winner there. He has scored three (league) goals this season and they have all been winners.

“So credit must go to him, and credit to Bolton because Ian Evatt’s team never know when they are beaten. They have that desire to keep going and going. Relentless.

“The manager can do as much as he can on the side of the pitch but it’s down to the players.

“And when the players implement that and go onto the pitch and cross that white line, they have that never say die attitude and they keep going to the end. They never know when they are beaten.”
