New signing Scott Twine came off the bench to hit a dramatic late winner as Bristol City beat Millwall in a see-saw seven-goal Championship thriller at Ashton Gate.
Tom Bradshaw's penalty brought Millwall level before Duncan Watmore volleyed a sumptuous third to turn the match on its head – his third goal in Millwall's opening two Championship games. Summer signing Armstrong, who arrived for an undisclosed fee from Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers, was at the forefront of the hosts’ quickfire start.
Ryan Leonard hit the post for the visitors before the break but a superb goal from Esse, jinking in between two defenders before finding the bottom corner, gave them a lifeline. Then Twine - who spent the second half of last season on loan at Ashton Gate before moving permanently this week - sent his new home into raptures by guiding home Joe Williams' cross with a cushioned volley.All times UK.
