The two sides went into the game level on points, but it was Wanderers who cruised to the win - with a first-half brace from Stelios Giannakopoulos and a stoppage time goal from Gary Speed sending them in 3-0 up at the break.
Teddy Sheringham pulled one back 11 minutes from time, but Henrik Pedersen sealed the win just 60 seconds later as Bolton picked up maximum points for only the second time in six outings.
