    After that the Championship will be going on a short break due to the international fixtures next week, and returning on the weekend of 1-3 April.

    Nahki Wells put the hosts ahead in the first half, Karlan Grant equalised from the penalty spot. Andi Weimann seemed to have the win wrapped up after 85 minutes for the Robins until Adam Reach's 92nd minute goal.

    Adam Reach (90 + 2 mins)

    Would you believe it, Bristol City concede a last minute goal for what feels like the 100th time this season.

    With literally seconds left on the clock Adam Reach, who only came on as a substitute in the 90th minute, gets a goal for West Brom and denies Bristol City all three points.

    The ball comes in low from the left and the Bristol City players seem to just sit back, allowing Reach to get the ball past Dan Bentley. We can only imagine Nigel Pearson's reaction...

    A long ball comes floating in from a free-kick, it's headed back across the box and Weimann sends a volley smashing straight into the back of the net.
