The Robins goalkeeper saved a penalty in Tuesday’s Championship comeback win at Millwall.
Bristol City have kept alive their hopes of reaching the Championship playoffs by coming from behind to beat Millwall 2-1 in Tuesday night’s game at The Den.
It looked as though the Robins would be saying 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 from the spot after Max O’Leary fouled Gregory, but the goalkeeper made amends by saving the penalty.
With the minutes ticking away in the second half, City levelled on 76 minutes through Jamie Paterson’s curling free kick.
Nine minutes from time, Famara Diedhiou rifled into the bottom corner to complete the turnaround and keep the Robins in contention for a top-six finish.
City, 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.
After the game, O’Leary delighted fans on Twitter by posting a picture of Bran Stark from Game of Thrones – for those who don’t know, he has the ability to receive prophetic visions – with his face superimposed on it.
Cue plenty of GoT-loving City supporters responding to him following his impressive penalty save:
