Bristol acting head coach Mark Tainton on BT Sport:

"We’ve been fortunate over the past few weeks to pull things together, gain confidence and that confidence showed today.

"The players are relieved and very very happy. But we know it’s one win and we’re still at the bottom of the table."

On Tusi Pisi's red card: "For me Tusi Pisi is looking at the ball when he approaches the tackle but he has a responsibility to bring the man down safely."

Worcester Warriors head coach Carl Hogg speaking on BT Sport:

"It was very disappointing. Bristol galvanised after the red card but Jamie Shillcock going off for us had a huge impact on our game.

"We had a lot of possession but we weren't very clinical. We didn't manage the game very well and never generated any shape.

"We didn't have real direction and our management of the game was poor.

"But we've got some significant players to come back. Lets not panic, it's been a bumpy start to the season but there's a lot to play for yet."

Bristol captain Olly Robinson told BT Sport: "We've threatened to put a performance like that for most of the season.

"More importantly than us getting a bonus point was stopping them getting one at the end there."

Bristol winger Tom Varndell on BT Sport: "We needed that. We know where we are in the table.

"If we're going to be in this league we need to play like that every single week we're in.

"It is great to be scoring tries and that is what I've managed to do today. 

Worcester will be very disappointed with that.

They lacked shape and commitment at times this afternoon and they're well and truly in a relegation battle now.

14-man Bristol, without Pisi from the 13th-minute of the game, came up with a brave performance capped by their exciting winger Tom Varndell.

He's now one try off Mark Cueto's Premiership try-scoring record, which stands at 90.

Wayne Barnes blows his whistle as the crowd erupts at Ashton Gate.

Bristol claim their first Premiership victory since April 2007 and more importantly, a victory against their local and relegation rivals, Worcester.

Despite playing much of the game with 14 men following Tusi Pisi's red-card for a dangerous tackle, Tom Varndell's hat-trick helps his side to a vital victory.

Worcester are trying valiantly until the end but they're being suffocated by the Bristol defence in the dying seconds of this match.

As it stand Warriors are going to get nothing out of this match...

Tom Varndell almost has a fourth as he goes for the intercept but knocks on in the process.

It's not to be for Varndell but the clock ticks down towards their first Premiership victory of the season.

Bristol just need to keep possession here with five minutes left on the clock.

They're deep inside their own half, but the scrum goes down as Worcester are adjudged to have pushed too early and Bristol win the penalty.

Oh dear. Chris Pennell with a poor effort on goal from the angle and that won't help Worcester's cause.

Could Bristol sneak a bonus-point win?

They need one try to do it and they've got 10 minutes left.

Worcester, meanwhile, need two scores to claw back the eight-point deficit, and remember, they've got their full complement of players to do it.

Cries of 'off' ring around Ashton Gate as there are more problems under the high ball.

Tom Varndell is down after a tackle by Cooper Vuna but it's just a penalty this time.

Bottom of the table Bristol seem to want this more at the moment.

Warriors have a line-out on their own five-metre line and they've been poor at the set-piece all afternoon.

They scramble possession and manage to clear their lines, but the home side will come again and the fans can sense something here.

Jason Woodward stretches Bristol's lead out to beyond a converted try, an important milestone for his side as they search for their first Premiership win of the season.

An easy shot in front of the posts and Worcester have 22 minutes to respond once again.

Bristol hooker Ross McMillan on BBC Radio Bristol: "Will Hurrell is like an extra back-row out there. He gets straight onto the ball and there is no moving him.

"Bristol have done well because there is constant pressure from Worcester. What is going to be massive is the bench we have got a lot of people with a lot of experience."

Well, after a first-half full of fast-paced attacks and contentious decisions, this one has been rather more stagnant.

Both sides are struggling to get a real attack going and there's been no change to the score this half.

The tension is certainly ramping up though at Ashton Gate.
