Bristol City struck twice in three second-half minutes to boost their Sky Bet Championship promotion bid with a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at Ashton Gate.

The hosts went in front after 51 minutes when Bailey Wright's deep cross from the right was headed in by Joe Bryan, whose close-range effort gave goalkeeper Darren Randolph no chance.

Before Middlesbrough regrouped, a breathtaking move out of defence led to Jamie Paterson driving home a second City goal.

It began with clever ball skills from Korey Smith and was carried on by Aden Flint who crossed for Paterson to strike past Randolph from 10 yards.
