SUPER-SUB NEAVE TURNS IT ROUND

Bristol City led through Scott Twine's 34th-minute free-kick and defended hard for most of the night in front of 23,569 at Ashton Gate. Then, on 82 minutes, Neave turned in a left-footed shot from close range after Bradley Collins saved from Adam Armstrong. With a minute left, Ladislav Krejčí headed a set piece back across and Neave nodded the winner in.

Wolves had 17 shots to City's five. The win lifts César Peixoto's side to second on 27 points.

Jack McGlynn's free-kick two minutes before half-time put the visitors ahead. The second, on 68 minutes, was a gift: Million Manhoef drove low into the area, the ball deflected to Yuri Ribeiro, and his clearance thumped into team-mate Moussa Baradji and flew in.

Andri Gudjohnsen gave Rovers hope with three minutes left, a right-footed finish from the centre of the box. It was his fourth home league game in a row on the scoresheet. Three minutes later he thought he had equalised with a header into the far corner, but referee Andrew Kitchen penalised him for a push, to the fury of the Rovers fans and coaching staff. Stoke held on.

"Huge win and I think we made a meal of it to be fair. We didn't have comfortable possession of the ball," Stoke boss Mark Robins told BBC Radio Stoke. Of McGlynn's free-kick he said: "To execute something like that was absolutely phenomenal."

Blackburn head coach Tony Mowbray was furious about the disallowed equaliser. "Having watched it back, it's embarrassing really," he said after the final whistle. "Is there a forward motion and a push? No. Does the guy throw his arms up in the air? Yes. I think the referee gets it hugely wrong." On McGlynn's opener: "Crazy goal. A great bit of play from the individual, of course, but I don't think they warranted it."

A goalless first half gave little away. Then on 70 minutes Kieffer Moore nodded the ball into George Thomason's path and his left-footed shot from outside the box beat Radek Vitek.

Thomason was replaced by Oliver Rathbone seven minutes later, and the substitute settled it on 84, heading Lewis O'Brien's cross into the top corner. Boro's late headers from Jeremy Sarmiento and Riley McGree both went wide.

James Morrison's side were completely dominant before half-time, BBC Sport reported, but had only Price's 22nd-minute spot-kick to show for it.

Tonda Eckert's Southampton were much improved after the interval and struck back eight minutes into the second half, Edozie slamming home from close range. Eckert himself was booked for dissent soon after.

From there it was open. Aune Heggebø, on as a substitute, drifted across the near post and steered towards goal from about four yards out, but Daniel Peretz got down to save. Lewis Dobbin went clean through for Saints at the other end and was denied by Max O'Leary.

Tom Fellows, who came through the Albion academy, came on against his old club to a polite round of applause from the home support and had a late effort blocked on the edge of the area. Albion nearly nicked it on the break: Ousmane Diakité drove the length of the pitch and teed up substitute Tammer Bany, whose shot clipped the outside of the post.

The draw leaves both sides in the play-off places. Albion, who won 3-1 at West Ham on Saturday, move to fifth on 25 points, with Southampton sixth on 24 after their four-point deduction.

"I think it was a fair result. I think it was two very good teams going at it," West Brom boss James Morrison told Sky Sports. "We were so dominant in the first half, especially doing that to the opposition, I don't think anyone's done that to them and the lads can be proud of that performance." He added: "But credit to Southampton, they came back and showed their class."

Southampton boss Tonda Eckert, also speaking to Sky Sports, felt his side had been too cautious early on. "I think we gave them too much respect in the first half for the quality they have on the ball and then changed at half-time and boys showed what they're about," he said. "We'll take the point and move on."

Price, who sent his penalty into the top corner, explained his choice: "The keeper told me I missed my last one to the left so I thought I'd put it to the right." Albion midfielder Jayson Molumby added: "Conceding early gave them momentum so we're disappointed with that."

Largie Ramazani put Burnley ahead on 38 minutes, finishing after Jamie Vardy's assist, and the visitors led at the break.

QPR, stung by Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Southampton, came again. Jonathan Varane equalised on 65 minutes from Idris Chair's assist, his side-footed effort from the edge of the box squirming under goalkeeper Gregoire Coudert, and neither side could find a winner.

Celestini named an unchanged side after Saturday's goalless draw with Portsmouth. A second straight draw leaves Burnley on 10 points, still hunting only their second victory of the season.

"I am frustrated with the result but not the performance," QPR boss Julien Stephan told BBC Radio London. "We had enough to score a minimum one or two times in the first 20-25 minutes. Then we concede from their first shot of the game." He added: "It's probably the difference between the top teams able to be at the top of the table, in a game like this they are able to score three or four times and us today, we are good mid-table because of a lack of efficiency."

"It was a tough game," said Burnley head coach Fabio Celestini. "Very good spirit, solidarity between the players, energy, fighting in the box many times. If today we don't have that, I think we lose." He would not blame Coudert: "Football is a mistake. Without mistakes, you don't have goals."
