Bristol City Hold Southampton 2-2 as Hodgson Applauds Best Display

Hodgson said the display showed clear progress under his short-term tenure.

Overview

  • Bristol City twice led at St Mary’s on Tuesday, first via a Ryan Manning own goal and later through a Sam Bell header, before Cyle Larin and Ross Stewart made it 2-2.
  • Roy Hodgson called it the best performance since he took charge and said he was happy with the point but felt his side could have won.
  • Sam Bell drew praise for his all-action display in attack, and goalkeeper Radek Vitek kept City in the game with sharp saves in both halves.
  • The draw checked Southampton’s push for automatic promotion, leaving them fourth with a three-point gap that Ipswich Town could extend if they win two games in hand.
  • Bristol City next visit Birmingham City on Saturday as their late-season run continues under Hodgson.
