Jon Dadi Bodvarsson struck a first-half hat-trick as Bolton Wanderers breezed into the third round of the FA Cup with a 5-1 win against League Two side Harrogate Town.

The Icelander last claimed the match ball for Reading in a 3-0 win against Stevenage five years ago in the FA Cup third round and this time triggered a ruthless performance which took Bolton to a club record 104 goals for the calendar year.

Gethin Jones and Will Forrester conspired for Bodvarsson's first in the ninth minute, and his second was down to some unselfish work from Dan Nlundulu just after the half-hour mark.

The hat-trick goal was stabbed in from close range after goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell failed to keep hold of Carlos Mendes Gomes' stinging shot.

George Thomson ended Bolton's seven-game streak of clean sheets with a curled 20-yard shot before the break but Nlundulu quickly ended any hopes of a comeback with two delightful finishes shortly after the restart.

Town keeper Mitchell denied Nlundulu and Kyle Dempsey before the end but it proved to be a most comfortable afternoon for the League One promotion chasers.
