SAM Allardyce watched his side record their third league win on the bounce, then summed up his 21-year-old matchwinner in one word: "Class".
A goal from Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen handed Bolton the points four minutes from the end, the youngster producing a moment of magic worthy of winning any game.
The fact that Gudjohnsen left it so late to seal the points only sweetened the victory for the travelling Wanderers faithful.
Paul Warhurst had previously limped off injured, but that could not dampen Bolton's spirits as the former PSV striker lifted the ball over the despairing Paul Mussselwhite and into the net for his 15th goal of the season. "Eidur is class," stated Allardyce, "and class will always tell in the end."
