Bristol City 2-2 Bradford City

Leaders Bristol City maintained their unbeaten start to the League One season but had to settle for a point against Bradford City.

Centre-back Flint gave City the lead again when he capitalised on an error from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

But with five minutes remaining, Christopher Routis fired in off the woodwork to rescue a point.

City have now made their best start to a season in 60 years, going 14 games unbeaten in the league, and have not lost in their last 20 matches, a run stretching back to March.

But Steve Cotterill's side were left disappointed after twice throwing away the lead against a plucky Bradford, who had come off the back of two defeats.

The hosts broke the deadlock on eight minutes when an unmarked Flint rose to meet Luke Freeman's free-kick and headed in.

But Bradford drew level from Mark Yeates' set-piece, which was sent into the box and nodded in by Clarke.

And the Bantams went close to taking the lead minutes later but Clarke and Andy Halliday both struck the woodwork in quick succession.

City went on the attack immediately after the break, with captain Wade Elliott and fellow midfielder Marlon Pack shooting over from distance.

Flint thought he had netted the winner when he stabbed home with eight minutes remaining but Routis equalised again with a half-volley off the crossbar.

Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill told BBC Points West:

"Maybe they (Bradford) thought that was a good point down here. Teams will think that, especially at the moment.

"The big thing for us was that our boys kept on trying to win the game. We went right to the death.

"That's why we've won so many games, because of the players' desire to win.

"It would have been nice if we'd have won as we could have had our lead extended by eight points."
