Leeds United Reserves 0, Wanderers Reserves 2: TWO goals either side of half time from Rod Wallace earned Bolton Reserves a deserved victory against Leeds United at Bootham Crescent last night.
A strong Leeds line-up came second in every department to a Bolton side that gave as good as they got in a physical encounter.
In the opening minute, Jason Wilcox headed inches wide and that was to be the home side's best chance of the evening.
Four minutes later a 30-yard piledriver from Gareth Farrelly forced keeper Paul Robinson into a spectacular diving save.
Both Wilcox and David Batty received yellow cards as Leeds became frustrated. A minute from half time the Wanderers took the lead. David Norris and Akinori Nishizawa combined to set up Wallace who side-footed the ball past Robinson.
Two minutes after the interval, Gareth Farrelly made a good run before releasing Wallace who found the net by chipping the ball over the advancing keeper.
Wallace was denied a hat-trick by Robinson when he got down to push away a shot after he had been played through by Cleveland Taylor.
Bolton: Price, Southall, Richardson, Diawara, Livesey, Norris (Dootson), Taylor, Farrelly, Nishizawa, Wallace, Smith.
Leeds: Robinson, Kelly, Cardsell-Sherriff (McMaster), Batty, Duberry, Woodgate, Burns, Smith, Farrell (Johnson), McPhail, Wilcox.
