"City had revived their promotion bid with a weekend win at Hull, but they had some making up to do with home fans after being thumped 5-0 by Derby in their previous appearance at Ashton Gate. George Tanner escaped injury after being clattered by his own goalkeeper Radek Vitek and Neto Borges sent a shot skywards from the edge of the box."
"Wrexham twice led through Ollie Rathbone and a Joe Williams own goal, but City were rewarded for a spirited second-half performance. Sinclair Armstrong drove home soon after the restart and fellow substitute Bird smashed home off the underside of the crossbar from 20 yards out two minutes from time. The prize at stake for the winner on a bitterly cold night was sixth spot and a place in the play-offs."
Bristol City drew 2-2 with Wrexham after Max Bird's spectacular volley two minutes from time earned a late equaliser at Ashton Gate. Wrexham led twice: Ollie Rathbone opened the scoring and a Joe Williams own goal restored their advantage. Sinclair Armstrong, introduced at half-time, immediately reduced the deficit for City. Gerhard Struber's triple substitution at the interval, including Armstrong, Delano Burgzorg and Jason Knight, shifted momentum. Both goalkeepers made notable saves; Radek Vitek held Callum Doyle's header while Arthur Okonkwo initially resisted attempts from Tomi Horvat and Armstrong. Sixth place and a play-off spot were at stake.
