Goals from Ryo Miyaichi and David N'Gog helped Bolton survive a tricky encounter at The Den, as Owen Coyle's side defeated Championship club Millwall 2-0 to put its name in the hat for the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Miyaichi's excellent early opener set Bolton on their way and victory was secured via N'Gog's low shot from the edge of the Millwall box early in the second half.
It took just two minutes for the Premier League outfit to make its mark. A quickly-taken free kick from Sam Ricketts was played over the top of Millwall's Alan Dunne for Miyaichi to accelerate onto.
The Japanese winger took a fantastic first touch inside the right-back and curled a sublime shot past Steve Mildenhall to give the Trotters the lead.
On 15 minutes, the away side had another big chance as holes continued to open in the Millwall defense. N'Gog carried the ball towards the goal and slipped a pass to Fabrice Muamba in the left channel.
The midfielder had time to do better than he did though, the resulting shot was fired wildly over the crossbar.
Millwall did manage to carve a couple of half-chances though, most notably through Darius Henderson's shot on the turn after the ball dropped from an Andy Keogh knock-down.
Millwall nearly forced an equalizer just before halftime. Harry Kane, the Tottenham loanee, hooked a ball into the path of Feeney on the right wing.
Feeney found room to deliver a low cross and as it evaded the onrushing Henderson, David Wheater's slash at the ball saw it cartwheel just over his own goal. It was a heart-stopping moment for the center back and as Bolton survived the resulting corner, the halftime whistle was blown.
Just before the hour mark, Bolton had its second as Tuncay collected a loose clearance and rolled the ball into N'Gog.
The French striker, who had been felled in the box minutes earlier, turned on the edge of the box and fired a low left-footed drive past Mildenhall to double the Trotters lead.
Millwall did its best to fight back into the game and were it not for a fine double save from Bogdan, firstly off Kane's header and Keogh's follow-up, it would have pulled a goal back.
The Trotters are forging something of a cup reputation under their Scottish manager and fans will be desperate to make Wembley for the second successive season.
For the home fans, the FA Cup journey is over for another year and the club will be left to focus on Championship survival.
