LEEDS 2 Antenucci (39, 62) BOLTON 1 Woolery (74)

MIRCO ANTENUCCI’S double eased the pressure on head coach Steve Evans as Leeds bounced back from Monday night’s horror show.

Evans’ future appeared in doubt when he was ordered by club owner Massimo Cellino not to speak to the media after a 4-0 thrashing at Brighton, but Antenucci struck in each half to secure Leeds just their second win in 12 league matches.

Bolton substitute Kaiyne Woolery reduced the deficit with 16 minutes remaining, but Leeds held on to leave Neil Lennon’s side without a league win on the road all season.

A series of protest stunts organised by Leeds fans’ group Time To Go Massimo ahead of kick- off threatened to overshadow the game.

An advertising van displaying anti-Cellino protest messages was driven round Leeds city centre and outside the ground.

The home side’s first noteworthy chance fell to Mustapha Carayol in the 27th minute when his effort was well saved by Bolton goalkeeper Paul Rachubka.

Leeds came more into the game as the first half progressed. Liam Cooper headed wide and Antenucci had a shot blocked before they took the lead in the 39th minute.

Cooper headed down Carayol’s corner and Antenucci pounced to slam home his sixth of the season.

Bolton were the first to threaten in the second half as Jay Spearing lashed a shot just over the crossbar, before Antenucci struck again in the 62nd minute.

The Italian’s ball into the box after a counter- attack was cut out, but rebounded to him on the left edge of the area and he curled home a superb right- footed shot beyond Rachubka.

Bolton refused to fold and Woolery buried his shot from eight yards in the 74th minute.
