Robins boost play-off hopes by beating Millwall

Bristol City bolstered their Championship play-off aspirations with a vital away win against Millwall, highlighted by Zak Vyner's first goal in almost two years. The match saw Vyner score early in the second half, followed by a late goal from substitute Harry Cornick, marking City’s first away victory in ten games. This win propelled Bristol City to level on points with sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion, intensifying the competition for play-off spots. Millwall, in search of a top-six finish, faced a setback with only their second defeat in eight league outings. Despite some promising moments from Millwall's Aidomo Emakhu, they struggled to break down a well-organized City defense.

Manager Liam Manning praised his team's attitude and maturity, acknowledging the importance of collective contributions from players. Millwall's manager Alex Neil expressed frustration over the lack of finishing quality, as both of City’s goals came from set pieces rather than open play. The match underscored the growing stakes as the Championship season progresses, with both teams vying for playoff contention.
