Sam Greenwood was on the score sheet for PNE

Preston North End supporters watched their team lose at home, in the Championship, for the first time under boss Paul Heckingbottom.

Bristol City attacker Yu Hirakawa scored a controversial opener after six minutes - with the summer loan signing having used his hand in the build-up. Three minutes into the second half, Sam Greenwood scored his third goal, in as many league games, to level matters.

But, Liam Manning’s men retook the lead almost instantly - as Mark Sykes delivered a pinpoint cross from the right and Nahki Wells made no mistake, with his close range header. Nine minutes from time, Max Bird wrapped up the match with a precise strike into the bottom right corner.
