Alex Scott made his Bristol City return as the Robins felt the heat by coming from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw with Exeter City.
The wonderkid – a star of England's triumphant under-19 Euros campaign this summer – was introduced in the 45th minute of the contest, replacing James Taylor who was handed a difficult afternoon playing out of position at left wing-back.
The Robins were in desperate need of Scott's quality in that second half as the hosts struggled in the opening 45 minutes, Josh Coley deservedly firing Exeter ahead early on.
