    Sensational stuff!!!!

    Keeper Joe Lumley gets the assist as he releases Bright Osayi-Samuel down the left.

    The forward still has a lot of work to do, cutting back inside before smashing in his second of the day.

    Fantastic counter.

    Stewart Downing (39 mins)

    He might be 35 now but Stewart Downing's ability to strike a football remains undiminished.

    The former England man pulls one back for the visitors with a powerful shot.

    That's his 50th league goal, which, I'll be honest, is probably fewer than I thought he had.

    Kerim Mrabti latches onto a loose ball in the box, shimmying past his man before sliding the ball under the onrushing goalkeeper.

    Blues go deservedly level.

    Nahki Wells is the provider this time for Bright Osayi-Samuel, who lashes in a lofted through ball.

    Game over!

    An Mathias Jensen shot stings the palms of Bristol City keeper Daniel Bentley and Ollie Watkins pounces on the losoe ball, squaring it to Said Benrahma who doubles Brentford's lead.

    Lewis Grabban (25 mins)

    That was quick!

    Minutes after scoring the first Joe Lolley is fouled in the area and Lewis Grabban does the honours from the penalty spot to put the hosts in total control.

    Bolton's 2-0 lead against Burton was short-lived - it's now 2-2 in that one.

    Meanwhile, League Two leaders Swindon are behind to a Dom Telford goal for Plymouth, who will still have aspirations of automatic promotion from the fourth tier.

    Swindon's nearest challengers, Exeter and Crewe, are both winning.
