Bristol City 2-1 West Bromwich Albion: Haydon Roberts scores 96th-minute winner
9 April 2025Bristol City manager Liam Manning told BBC Radio Bristol:
“We’ve been on the other end of a few of those this season so to come away scoring so late and picking up three points in an important game is a great feeling and probably a memory that will stick with a few of the lads and fans I’m sure – a terrific evening.
“Top energy, top atmosphere and a top performance. Up to their goal I thought we were excellent. The bravery to play, the quality, the way we went through them at times and there was a real purpose to our play which I really enjoyed and credit to the lads for that.
“To let them back in against the run of play you just get a major momentum shift, you allow them back in through us and it flips and they get the momentum and go on top.
“We stuck at it, we kept believing, we kept fighting, we kept running, we kept being brave and we got the rewards at the end.”
West Brom manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Radio WM:
“I can’t keep repeating the same things. We have to find a way. I’ve just vented a bit of frustration, I feel as if it can’t happen, they can’t score in the 96th minute, even though we’re a man down we’ve still got nine outfield players in that box.
“Somebody has to block it, somebody has to get their body there. It’s a frustration because I think if anybody was going to win it before the sending off it was us.
“We were in the ascendancy, their crowd had gone quiet, we were dominating the ball, we had an amazing chance to score and win it with a couple of them in the last 15 minutes and to lose it.
“Is cruel the right word? It seems ridiculous to me but we have and we have to accept it and move on.”
