Bristol City vs Stoke City live updates
Bristol City and Liam Manning welcome Stoke City to Ashton Gate as they look to return to winning ways in the Championship

Bristol City climbed back to within a place of the play-offs with a 2-0 win over Stoke City on Wednesday evening at Ashton Gate.

A brace from Anis Mehmeti was enough to ensure all three points remained in the West Country, with the Albanian international scoring once in each half.

The former Wycombe Wanderers man opened the scoring with a close-range finish following a smart interchange between Scott Twine and Mark Sykes, before finding the net for the 11th time this season with an impressive half-volley midway through the second period.

Although Mark Robins' Potters had spells of possession, they were unable to truly test Max O'Leary in the City net as the Reds comfortably secured their first win in three Championship matches.

The Robins have another chance to leap into the top six on Saturday when they face Severnside rivals Cardiff City in South Wales.
