Karl Henry gave Phil Parkinson's men the lead but a Patrick McNair's 79th-minute strike saved Simon Grayson's side from a home defeat.

Ameobi's goal was his third in last four games for the 22nd placed Trotters who have gathered a paltry 10 points from 15 league games.

Bolton will host Norwich in their next English Championship outing on October 4.
