Amario Dozier-Duberry sent a two-word message on Instagram after scoring the winner for Bolton Wanderers in their play-off semi-final first leg.
Brighton & Hove Albion prodigy Amario Cozier-Duberry continued his excellent loan spell at Bolton Wanderers with the only goal in their play-off semi-final first leg victory over Bradford City.
The League One play-offs got underway on Saturday, with Stevenage hosting Stockport County in the afternoon, before all eyes turned to the Toughsheet Community Stadium, as Bolton hosted Bradford later that evening.
It was a closely-fought contest between the two sides, with chances coming thick and fast in the first half, but ultimately nothing doing for either side heading into the break.
However, 20 minutes into the second half, a rocket from winger Cozier-Duberry proved to be the decisive moment in the tie, with Steven Schumacher's side heading to Valley Parade with a one-goal advantage to boot.
After the match, the 20-year-old took to social media to share a two-word message with supporters, which will have them hoping he can be the difference maker once again in Thursday's second leg.

Bolton have a plethora of attacking quality on their books, with Cozier-Duberry one of several hugely exciting forwards the Lancashire club can rely on for consistent goal contributions.
The Brighton loanee spent a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a knee ligament injury back at the end of January, but returned with a bang by scoring twice in a 5-1 win over Stevenage, signalling his return to the rest of the division.
His return was aptly timed for Bolton heading into the play-offs, giving Schumacher his most threatening attacker back at a crucial stage in the season, which was a crumb of comfort after the Trotters fell to fifth in the table over the final few weeks.
That impact was felt in the first leg of the play-off semi-final, as Cozier-Duberry netted the only goal of the contest, giving his loan club an advantage heading into the second leg at Valley Parade on Thursday.
After scoring what could prove to be the goal that sends Bolton marching down Wembley Way, the 20-year-old took to Instagram to share a simple two-word message with the Wanderers faithful.
Cozier-Duberry shared a picture of the full-time score on his Instagram story, with the caption "Onto Thursday 💙," signalling his focus is very much on the second leg, after a stunning performance in the first.

The encounter between Bolton and Bradford was heavily touted as the more exciting of the two ties in the League One play-offs, and whilst the scoreline didn't indicate that, it did show how closely matched both sides are.
Wanderers managed to make the most of home advantage in the first leg, with Cozier-Duberry's excellent strike giving Schumacher's side something tangible to hold onto heading to Valley Parade on Thursday.
Despite this, the Trotters will have to bring their A game for the second leg, as Bradford have fallen to defeat just three times at home all season, meaning the job is far from done for the Lancashire side.
However, taking the lead to Valley Parade on Thursday will be a huge relief for Schumacher and his side, as they don't have to chase the game from the get-go in what will be an electric atmosphere.
