Bolton climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone after scoring two late goals to sink Manchester City.
City had the best of a drab first half that saw Stephen Ireland and Ched Evans test home keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
But Bolton improved after the break and took the lead when Ricardo Gardner turned in Gretar Steinsson's cross.
City seemed to run out of ideas and Wanderers made sure of victory when Richard Dunne turned Gardner's low cross into his own net at the far post.
The win was Bolton's first at home since the opening day of the season and a timely one for Wanderers boss Gary Megson, who has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks.
