Manning Wells up for Robins

SUBSTITUTE Nahki Wells delivered the killer blow as Bristol City stepped up their Championship play-off challenge with a 2-1 victory over Blackburn.

BRISTOL CITY ................. 2
Twine 12, Wells 77

BLACKBURN ....................1
Weimann 40

The home side took a 12th-minute lead when Rovers defender Danny Batth was booked for a foul on Sinclair Armstrong 20 yards out and free-kick specialist Scott Twine curled a beauty beyond the reach of Aynsley Pears.

But Blackburn were on level terms five minutes before the break when Makhtar Gueye rose to head a Tyrhys Dolan cross against the inside of a post and former City player Andreas Weimann pounced to nod in the rebound.
