Aaron Morley haunts Exeter again as Bolton secure late comeback win

Aaron Morley marked his return to Bolton with a stoppage-time winner in their 2-1 League One success at Exeter.

The Grecians will be sick of the sight of Morley, who also struck the late winner against them on New Year’s Day for Wycombe before being recalled by Wanderers manager Ian Evatt.

Demetri Mitchell made the most of a mix-up in the Bolton defence to get to the ball ahead of everyone and slot into an empty net from 18 yards with 54 minutes on the clock to put Exeter ahead.

However, Bolton equalised on 88 minutes when Jack Fitzwater left Joe Whitworth short with a back header and Aaron Collins nipped in to poke it past the Exeter goalkeeper and into an open goal.

The Trotters then won the match in the first minute of stoppage time when Morley’s cross evaded everyone in the penalty box and crept in at the back post to complete Bolton’s turnaround.

However, the win was tarnished by an allegation of racial abuse aimed at Exeter’s former Bolton striker Josh Magennis from someone among the visiting supporters.
