Bolton Wanderers 0 Oxford United 2
Oxford United beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 in the Sky Bet League One play-off final at Wembley as Josh Murphy's deflected strike proved the difference.
Murphy's low drive took a wicked deflection off Ricardo Santos and flew past Wanderers keeper James Trafford in the 55th minute.
The U's doubled their lead in the 78th minute when Matty Taylor poked home from close range after Murphy's shot had been parried by Trafford.
Bolton had chances to level but Dion Charles and Kieran Lee both missed good opportunities.
The result means Oxford will play in the Championship next season, while Bolton will remain in League One.
