Nigel Pearson has described Nahki Wells as a manager's dream after the Bristol City striker cemented his starting role against Manchester City with the winner against Hull City.
After a stretch of 469 days without a spot-kick, City had their second in two weeks after Anis Mehmeti's effort came back off the arm of Cyrus Christie. It was controversial given the pace of the ball but Wells kept his cool once again to ensure the 12-game unbeaten run continued.
The hosts started the game superbly and could have had two or three in the opening 20 minutes until the visitors eventually settled. However, except for Benjamin Tetteh's header coming back off the post after Wells' goal, Liam Rosenior's side were toothless for the majority of the game going forward.
