Sheringham hat-trick sinks Bolton

Portsmouth 4 Bolton 0

The former Spurs star, who netted on the opening day against Aston Villa, was involved in the opener three minutes after the break when Steve Stone touched in a shot by Patrik Berger which Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen could only knock away with his feet.

Eight minutes later Sheringham netted a bullet header and in the closing five minutes put away Stone’s pass from close range before converting a penalty.
