News from the late kick off

Bristol City were pegged back from a two goal lead as Newcastle slip up at Ashston Gate.

First half goals from Lewin Nyatanga and Nicky Maynard handed caretaker Manager Keith Millen's side a 2-0 half time lead. But Newcastle made a strong comeback in the second half, with two goals in four minutes from Jonas Gutierrez and Andy Carroll leaving each side to share the spoils.

The result leaves Newcastle two points clear at the top of the table, with a game in hand over their three closest rivals. Boss Chris Hughton will be confident in promotion, but it is yet to be seen whether The Magpies will sustain their title charge. Bristol City, meanwhile, are seven points clear of the relegation zone and not yet safe from the drop.
