Broadhead scored only his third league goal since joining the Red Dragons from Ipswich in the summer with a stunning first-half strike at STOK Cae Ras on Wednesday.

The hosts wrapped up victory with an own goal off Robins goalkeeper Radek Vitek after George Thomason’s corner struck the post and rebounded in via the unfortunate Manchester United loanee.

Victory lifted the Welsh side, who had begun the game in 15th place, within touching distance of the playoff positions and denied City the chance to move to fourth.
