Bristol City head coach Liam Manning told BBC Radio Bristol:
“We’ve not necessarily always got the results here (Ashton Gate) but performance wise we’ve always been consistent, I think around some of the ones where we’ve not played great they always tend to be on the road.
“We said at the start of the season about making this a really tough place for teams to come and we’ve done that,
Watkins had a point to prove on Monday night, having been dropped by manager Unai Emery in favour of Colombian forward Jhon Duran in each of Villa’s last three matches.
But with Duran suspended following his red card at Newcastle at the weekend, the England striker was given his first start in almost three weeks.
Villa had their first penalty appeal rejected in the 30th minute when Rogers and Jan
Johansson denied Milan Aleksic and Trai Hume in a lively first half but it was his save from Adil Aouchiche, low to his left at the near post after the forward charged into the area from the right flank, which stood out.
It was not all one-way traffic with both Cannon and Lewis Koumas testing at the other end.
Koumas was again unable to beat Patterson 20 minutes into the
Blackburn head coach John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire:
“I thought we played some fantastic football in the first half, it could have been more and we need to be more clinical. Second half we came out a little bit slow against a top team in Sunderland, you can see why they’re in the top three or four.
“When we went 2-1 down, the lads never gave up and that’s
Even though they avoided just a fourth league loss of the season, a draw means they have won only one of their past eight games away from Elland Road.
It was, therefore, with a degree of resignation that the 5,656 fans in the away end, boisterously ‘marching on together’ with their team before kick off, watched Preston take the lead.
The opener was a work of art. A perfectly executed
Watford took a gamble on Vata’s potential when they recruited him on a four-year contract.
But he does have a football pedigree as the son of former Celtic and Albania defender Rudi Vata and has already represented the Republic of Ireland from Under-15 through to Under-21 level.
Cleverley was impressed with Vata’s contribution against Hull and also that of another forward prospect, 21-year-old Kwadwo Baah.
“Those two players are fantastic
Millwall boss Neil Harris told BBC Radio London:
“It wasn’t the way I hoped to go, with a defeat. Sometimes you have to just respect levels. How many times did we get into their penalty area? Double [the amount of time than] them. Did we have any quality? Not really.
“We hit the woodwork twice and couldn’t follow up with simple chances. They have an execution of a brilliant pass,
Inconsistency struck Tottenham Hotspur again as they were held at home by Fulham in the Premier League.
Spurs, who were missing several key players through injury and suspension, had to withstand severe pressure before taking a 54th-minute lead through Brennan Johnson.
The Wales forward volleyed home his sixth league goal of the season from close range after being teed up by Timo Werner’s cross.
But Fulham, who had the better
Emmanuel Latte Lath led the way at the Kassam Stadium with a hat-trick to make it five goals in three games, having managed just two in the previous 13.
The Ivory Coast striker is back towards the player who grabbed 18 goals in his debut campaign on Teesside last season.
But with Scotland teenager Ben Doak again impressing, Finn Azaz scoring twice and Tommy Conway getting on the scoresheet off
Sheffield United went level on points with Championship leaders Sunderland with a deserved win over local rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
After a largely forgettable first 45 minutes, the home side made a great start to the second half when Tyrese Campbell finished coolly after being slipped in by Callum O’Hare.
The Owls struggled to create anything of note in response, with sub Djeidi Gassama going closest when he curled a shot
