Scunthorpe 0-1 Bristol City (Coca-cola Championship)

Scunthorpe 0-1 Bristol City
Bristol City moved second in the Championship table thanks to Bradley Orr's fortuitous 83rd-minute winner.

Orr curled a hopeful ball into the area and Scunthorpe goalkeeper Joe Murphy was distracted by Tamas Vasko's run, allowing the ball to sail into the net.

Scunthorpe will feel hard done by as City created few other chances.

The Iron had produced the best efforts but could not beat Adrian Basso with long-range shots from Kevan Hurst, Jim Goodwin, Marcus Williams and Jack Cork.

# Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins:
"We will stay up - the result is disappointing, as is the manner of it.

The initial reaction (for the goal) was offside, but well done to the linesman, it was a great decision.

"If we'd have had a little bit more quality and composure then we might have had a little bit more."

# Bristol City manager Gary Johnson:
"I don't know if the goal was a fluke. He hit three before that and if it was a cross then what a cross.

"You have to give him credit for moving that far up the field.

"We knew that we had to put in a good and solid away performance. We know Scunthorpe are a battling team, especially here (at Glanford Park)."
