Bolton increased the cushion between themselves and seventh-placed Wycombe to nine points with a 2-1 win over Charlton at The Valley.
A David Beckham-esque free-kick from Aaron Morley put the visitors in front (4), but Albie Morgan restored parity within 25 seconds of the start of the second half (46).
Bolton were denied a penalty when Kieran Lee appeared to be tripped in the box by Scott Fraser, but it mattered little when Dion Charles capitalised on Ryan Inniss’ poor defensive header to sweep home the winner (68).
Wanderers stay fifth in the League One table having reached the 50-point mark, but remain eight points outside the automatic promotion places, while Charlton continue in 15th, nine points off the play-off pace.
