Well, that’s not how we’re used to it panning out. Not only did Bristol City beat Preston North End 2-1 on Wednesday night, they did it courtesy of a last-minute winner while Rob Atkinson mirrored the heroics of Birmingham City’s Auston Trusty by scoring twice from defence.
The frustrations of Saturday vanished across three sides of Ashton Gate, other than the dugout occupied by Nigel Pearson it would appear, as the former Oxford United centre-back went airborne at the back post to secure the three points for City.
It wasn’t just an important three points for City, their first in six matches, but also ended what had been an unbeaten start on the road for Preston. Ryan Lowe’s side have taken some big scalps away from home including Norwich City and Luton Town.
