right flank and steadied himself before flighting over an inch-perfect cross to Diouf, unmarked at the far post just six yards from goal.
Diouf controlled the ball expertly with his first touch and his second was lethal as he sidefooted the ball past Gordon and into the roof of the net.
Bolton remained largely dominant after the restart, fashioning a clear-cut opening when Matthew Taylor crossed from the left and Diouf saw his diving header deflected for a corner by Danny Collins.
Keane had seen enough by the hour mark and made a triple substitution which almost reaped dividends in the 70th minute.
Roy O'Donovan, one of Keane's substitutes, headed Andy Reid's deep cross straight into Jones' path but he could not connect with the goal at his mercy.
However, Bolton put the result beyond doubt eight minutes from time as Murphy's flicked header from a home corner flew past Gordon and although Reid hacked the ball off the line, the goal was rightly given.
