Wolves power ahead in Championship
Coleman registers his first win as Sunderland manager
London: Wolverhampton Wanderers smashed five goals past lowly Bolton on Saturday to stretch their lead at the top of the English Championship as Chris Coleman secured his first win as Sunderland manager.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves established a comfortable seven-point cushion over their challengers with a fifth straight league win as their rivals struggle to cling onto their coat-tails.
Fresh from a 4-1 win over Leeds, the Molineux men scored through Willy Boly, Leo Bonatini, Ivan Cavaleiro (twice) and Diego Jota. Will Buckley netted Bolton’s consolation. First-half goals from Boly and Bonatini gave the hosts early control and Cavaleiro’s penalty just after the hour mark stretched their advantage.
