Nigel Pearson praised captain Andi Weimann’s patience and work ethic after the Austrian forward superbly scored his first goal since November in Bristol City's comfortable 2-0 victory over Blackpool.
The Robins were unable to turn their first-half dominance into a lead with Blackpool’s Jerry Yates coming the closest to breaking the deadlock, latching onto a long ball from goalkeeper Chris Maxwell, only to skew the ball past the post as he attempted to round Max O’Leary.
But the hosts continued to control proceedings in the second period only for Weimann to open the scoring with his fifth of the season just before the hour mark. He cut inside on his left foot and arrowed an unstoppable strike into the top corner.
