Former Chelsea academy player Xavier Simons was sent off for Bolton after punching Sheffield Wednesday's Harry Gray during his side's League Cup clash.The 23-year-old lost his composure in a moment of frustration early in the second half when the match remained goalless.His sending-off left Bolton a man short for much of the remainder of the contest, and Jamal Lowe capitalised in the 70th minute, netting what turned out to be the only goal of the game.It was a miserable start to the new campaign for the recently promoted Trotters, exiting the League Cup at the first time of asking.
