Bell made it 4-2 with a great shot from the edge of the box and then Dallas burst through to clip the ball in with his left foot for the home side's fifth.
Bolton continued to look dangerous after the break and they levelled when the impressive Mark Davies burst through midfield and slipped the ball to Sturridge, whose shot from the edge of the area slipped under Gomes in a moment the Brazilian goalkeeper will certainly not be replaying to his grandchildren.
