Wolves came from behind to beat Bristol City 2-1 in the Sky Bet Championship, with substitute Sean Neave scoring a late brace. Bristol City took the lead when Scott Twine scored a 34th-minute free-kick. Wolves responded with second-half pressure, eventually equalizing in the 82nd minute when Neave scored from a rebound.

Neave scored his second goal six minutes after the equalizer, heading home from close range after a Ladislav Krejci header from a Kieran Trippier free-kick. Wolves were considered deserved winners and moved up to second in the table. Bristol City boss Michael Skubala acknowledged that the result was cruel to his team, which defended with great tenacity.

Skubala attributed the loss to Bristol City's soft goals and poor decision-making in possession, while praising Cam Pring's recovery tackle to defend their lead. Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto praised his team's character and the supporters for staying behind them, and highlighted the importance of their substitutions in making the difference.

Source context

Substitute Sean Neave scored a late brace as Wolves came from behind to secure a 2-1 Sky Bet Championship win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The hosts took a 34th-minute lead when Scott Twine was fouled 25 yards out and got up to fire in an unstoppable right-footed free-kick, sending the ball curling away from Jose Sa's dive and into the top corner. But Wolves piled on the second-half pressure and were rewarded after 82 minutes when Kieran Trippier volleyed in a cross from the right, Adam Armstrong's first-time shot was saved and Neave pounced to net the rebound.
