Defender Rob Atkinson was Bristol City’s unlikely two-goal hero in a 2-1 Sky Bet Championship victory over Preston at Ashton Gate.
The home side took a 54th-minute lead when Zak Vyner glanced on a Mark Sykes cross and centre-back Atkinson netted with a powerful header.
But North End drew level eight minutes from time, Andrew Hughes driving the ball through a crowded six-yard box after City failed to clear a Robbie Brady free-kick.
The winner came at the start of stoppage time when Alex Scott’s left-wing corner found the head of Atkinson, who powered the ball home from close range.
City boss Nigel Pearson had sprung a surprise by dropping experienced goalkeeper Dan Bentley to the bench and bringing in Max O’Leary.
