Bolton Wanderers secured a 1-1 draw against Lincoln City on February 14, 2026, to stay in the race for automatic promotion. The result in Lincoln helps the club from Bolton, Greater Manchester, keep its position near the top of the league standings as the season continues.

Striker Sam Dalby scored the equalising goal with a header in the 82nd minute of the match. This was his fourth goal in just three games, following an earlier score for Lincoln from Jack Moylan in the 25th minute.

Midfielder Ethan Erhahon, a former Lincoln player, set up the goal with a cross to the back post. The result means that Steven Schumacher, who has been the head coach for just over a year, keeps the team in a strong position as they head into a busy run of fixtures.

The team currently sits in 3rd place in the league with 56 points, trailing second-placed Lincoln City by six points. Supporters are now looking ahead to the rest of the month, which includes a home fixture against Blackpool and an away trip to face Exeter City.
