Wanderers registered an emphatic victory against
League Two promotion hopefuls Salford City to
secure a passage through to Round Two of the
Carabao Cup.
Despite falling behind to Brandon Thomas-Asante’s
clinical finish, Ian Evatt’s men responded quickly
through Elias Kachunga’s headed equaliser after
latching onto Kieran Lee’s cross.
Jón Daði Böðvarsson then capped a 31-pass move
to put Wanderers in front before the break and
Kieran Sadlier’s deflected effort from 25 yards gave
the Whites a two-goal cushion.
Conor Bradley scored a wonder goal before fellow
substitute Dapo Afolayan added a fifth late on to
confirm an impressive final scoreline to match the
performance, taking the goal tally to 8 goals in two
home matches this season.
