Bristol City 1-1 Oldham Athletic

Oldham's James Dayton struck a late equaliser to deny struggling Bristol City a first home win of the season.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas's acrobatic volley from strike partner Ryan Taylor's well-placed cross had given the Robins a first-half advantage.

Dayton and Adam Rooney both had shots well blocked as Lee Johnson's Oldham looked the brighter team.

And Dayton finally got his goal with 13 minutes left when his left-foot shot beat goalkeeper Elliot Parish.

The result means City climb a place to 23rd in the League One table, while Oldham are 16th.

Bristol City head coach Sean O'Driscoll told BBC Radio Bristol:

"We have had a lot of time where we have walked in saying we didn't deserve that.

"People say to me you could do with a 1-0 scrappy win and you reply understanding the sentiment but I know what a scrappy win looks like and it's not pretty.

"I think it's about creating openings. I don't think we created enough.

"I'm not sure whether that's down to conditions but we were not fluid enough with our play."
