Emil Riis Jakobsen equalised in the 17th minute and later provided the winner as Bristol City beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park.

Riis levelled with a right-footed finish guided into the bottom right from the centre of the box (17.).

He then delivered the cross that Scott Twine crashed into the roof of the net, a move that swung the contest in City's favour (31.).

The Denmark forward finished with four attempts, three on target, two key passes and ten touches in the box, repeatedly troubling the home defence and drawing saves from Radek Vítek.

His direct runs across the front line opened lanes for The Robins to attack, ensuring City controlled the decisive moments once ahead.

City rise from 12th to eighth in the Championship and host Watford next. Blackburn Rovers visit Derby next.
