Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle was delighted with two-goal Matt Taylor after victory at Stoke City.

Taylor struck twice in the last 10 minutes at the Britannia Stadium to cancel out Dave Kitson's first-half opener and seal a victory which took Wanderers seven points clear of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone with three games to play.

"Matt Taylor is a terrific player as we know," Coyle said.

"I felt when we first came to the club that he was trying too hard to impress, but he has got those qualities.

"I left him out of the team and then he came back in on Tuesday night against Chelsea and was magnificent. He showed his qualities again (against Stoke) and I'm delighted for him.

"The boys are honest to a fault, and he (Taylor) has quality to go with it. I'm delighted that Matty has got his rewards."
