Match Info

Bolton Wanderers produced a stunning away performance to thrash Exeter City 5-1 at St James Park in English Football League One on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The league leaders showcased their title credentials with a devastating display of attacking football. Bolton were 3-0 up by halftime, scoring from a free-kick, a tap-in, and a powerful drive from distance. Exeter scored a consolation goal early in the second half, but Bolton immediately restored their three-goal advantage and added a fifth late on to complete the rout. Exeter's defense was torn apart repeatedly by Bolton's fluid front line, with their playmaker pulling the strings all afternoon. The victory extended Bolton's lead at the top of the table, while for Exeter it was a humbling defeat that exposed their defensive frailties. The Exeter manager described it as the worst performance of the season, while the Bolton coach said his team was "unplayable" at times.
