Highlights: Bristol City 2-1 Hull City

Jamie Paterson set up the opener in style, with his cushioned pass having the perfect amount of weight to find Famara Diédhiou, who set himself before firing City into the lead from close range.

Paterson’s 25-yard free kick shortly into the second half was exquisite, with George Long helpless to prevent the ball from crossing the line after it crashed off the bar.

But the Tigers, who are battling to avoid the drop to League One with few games remaining, had fight in them and halved the deficit through skipper Jordy de Wijs’ header on the hour mark.

Bar a couple of Dan Bentley saves, Hull offered little threat as City did enough to see out the result and get back to winning ways; their first points recorded since the season's resumption.
