Bristol City lost 2-1 at home to Wolves after conceding twice late on.

Bristol City lost 2-1 at home to Wolves on Wednesday evening at Ashton Gate, conceding twice in the closing stages despite taking the lead. Scott Twine put the Robins ahead with a free-kick, but Wolves substitute Sean Neave scored in the 82nd minute when goalkeeper Brad Collins parried Adam Armstrong's low shot into his path. Neave then headed in a second goal seven minutes later from a Kieran Trippier free-kick to secure all three points for the visitors.

Wolves are third in the Championship after winning three of their past four matches. Bristol City had come into the match on the back of their first win in five games, having beaten Bolton Wanderers 2-1 on Saturday with late goals from Scott Twine and Sam Bell. The victory over Wolves would have been City's first at home since September.

Manager Michael Skubala acknowledged his side's work rate but was frustrated with how they conceded. "I can't knock the effort," he told the media. "I thought the first half, the tactical plan, the lads executed it very well." However, he said the Robins became too passive in the second half and played too many backward passes, eventually turning the ball over too cheaply in the attacking third. "The sucker punch is we've got nothing out of the game against a good team," Skubala told BBC Radio Bristol, expressing particular disappointment with the manner of the two goals conceded.
