City face a midweek trip to Brentford in the Sky Bet Championship
It looks set to be City's final outing to Griffin Park, with the Bees getting ready to move into a new stadium nearby.

MEMORABLE FIXTURE

Sky Bet Championship
Scorer: Eliasson 89
Att: 11182
City got back to winning ways thanks to Niclas Eliasson’s 90th-minute volley at Griffin Park.
An open game in the capital saw the Bees strike the post after going down to ten men when Chris Mepham received his marching orders, before Eliasson snuck in unmarked at the backpost, to ensure the three points would be travelling back down the M4.
Max O’Leary grew in confidence as he made his league debut for the Robins, making a number of stops to keep the travelling side in the contest.
But Lee Johnson’s side ultimately did enough to snatch the win and rise above Brentford in the Championship, in what would be an open game as the match developed.
Bristol City: O'Leary, Hunt, Kelly, Baker (Dasilva), Webster, Paterson, Pack, Brownhill (Walsh), Eliasson, Weimann, Taylor (Diédhiou). Subs not used: Wollacott, Watkins Hegeler, Morrell.
AND FINALLY...
There are no further tickets available for tonight's match versus Brentford. However, the match will be video streamed live to supporters based in the UK and worldwide via Robins TV.
City supporters looking to get their football fix can still secure a seat for Saturday's game at home to Reading.
