Flint scripts Bristol win

A goal in stoppage time by Aden Flint gave Bristol City a 2-1 win over 10-man Sheffield United in an enthralling match in the English Championship on Friday.

Flint’s sixth goal of the season — the most for a defender in England’s second tier this term — sent City three points clear of United in third place and seven behind leaders Wolves, who host struggling Sunderland on Saturday. Jamie Paterson had given the visitors the lead at Bramall Lane against the run of play in the first half, only for veteran striker Leon Clarke to level early in the second half.
