🔢 Numbers game: Bristol City 2-1 Middlesbrough
Sunday, February 20th 2022
We break down the statistics from City's 2-1 win against Middlesbrough in the Sky Bet Championship fixture at Ashton Gate.
The Robins took the lead in the 7th minute after Antoine Semenyo slotted the ball to Andreas Weimann and he made no mistake in smashing it home.
City doubled their lead when the ball fell to the in-form Semenyo after some tidy team play in involving Alex Scott and Weimann and he then fired the ball into the corner to give Joe Lumley no chance.
The visitors got on the scoresheet late on through a Matt Crooks header but it was too little too late as City secured their fourth successive home win.
