Sky Bet Championship

Att: 19,743
A stunning second-half fightback saw City out-gun free-scoring Derby County at Ashton Gate and continue their prosperous start to September.
Matej Vydra had already hit the post for the visitors before he opened the scoring from the penalty spot after a foul by Frank Fielding.
But City’s response after the interval was emphatic; Cauley Woodrow and Bobby Reid – from the penalty spot – both scoring inside a five-minute period.
Jamie Paterson sealed the win with a brilliant free kick before Famara Diedhiou put the icing on the cake in stoppage time.
Bristol City: Fielding, Wright, Flint, Baker, Bryan, Paterson, Smith, Pack, Leko (Brownhill 64'), Reid (O'Dowda 81), Woodrow (Diédhiou 65). Subs not used: Steele, Magnusson, Eliasson, Taylor.
