Nigel Pearson says the foundation to Bristol City's run of form has been a catalyst of hard work and togetherness after the Robins' fine form continued with a 2-1 victory at Preston.
First half goals from Mark Sykes and Sam Bell proved enough to stretch the unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions and a first win at Deepdale in 11 years.
Sykes grabbed his fourth goal in five games after six minutes when he capitalised on Robbie Brady's poor backpass before rounding the keeper to slot into an empty net. The visitors doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time with a sensational piece of counter-attacking play.
