The Robins’ £900,000 signing impressed as Lee Johnson’s side came from behind to win at The Den in the Championship.

Bristol City remain with a chance of reaching the Championship playoffs thanks to their comeback 2-1 victory over Millwall in Tuesday night’s game at The Den.

It looked as though the Robins would be waving goodbye to their top-six hopes after Lions striker Lee Gregory opened the scoring shortly before half time.

Shaun Williams then had the chance to double Millwall’s lead after Max O’Leary brought down Gregory, but the goalkeeper made amends by saving the resulting penalty.

City then bounced back and levelled on 76 minutes through Jamie Paterson’s curling free kick before Famara Diedhiou rifled into the bottom corner just nine minutes from time.

Paterson put in an impressive display against the Southeast Londoners with his goal, the assist for Diedhiou’s winner, and his all-round threat to the opposition.

Some City fans took to Twitter after the game and commented on the £900,000 signing‘s display:

The Robins, beaten at home by Derby County on Saturday, are now one point behind the sixth-placed Rams – whose game in hand against Swansea City is on Wednesday – and seventh-placed Middlesbrough.
