Match in Five Sentences: Bristol City beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park. Yuki Ohashi struck in the sixth minute, guiding in Ryoya Morishita's cross. City levelled through Emil Riis Jakobsen (17.) before Scott Twine put them ahead from the centre of the box (31.). Blackburn had 19 attempts to City's 10, but Radek Vítek's six saves and disciplined defending kept the hosts out. The Robins climb from 12th to eighth and host Watford next, while Blackburn visit Derby.
