Bristol City had to settle for a point as Middlesbrough battled from two goals down to earn a draw at Ashton Gate.

Bristol City squandered a two goal lead as they drew 2-2 with promotion-chasing Middlesbrough at Ashton Gate in front of Sky Sports cameras on Easter Monday.

Sam Bell opened the scoring for the Robins with his first league goal at home before Harry Cornick - who supplied Bell for the opening goal - netted for the first time in his City career after scoring from close range from Nahki Wells' pass.
