Famara Diedhiou has been the match-winner at a 1-0 Sky Bet Championship triumph against Reading in Ashton Gate of Bristol City.
The goal came on 12 minutes after Niclas Eliassons cross from the right found the striker unmarked to head home.
A Reading side unfortunate to not take a stage pushed them all the way, although victory prolonged Citys unbeaten run to 10 matches.
Until the goal of Diedhiou Callum ODowda got supporting the Reading defence on the left and city created a start and crossed for Andreas Weimann to go over.
However, Reading responded well to falling behind. In the 20th minute that the Ovie Ejaria needed a shot blocked and fired just wide.
Goalkeeper Dan Bentley, who spread himself to save one-on-one City were caught by a long ball forward to Yakou Meite and rescued five minutes later.
Diedhiou had a shot deflected for a corner, but Reading looked both dangerous and Ejaria taken over from the edge of their box.
City had two chances at the onset of the second halfan ODowda forcing a save from Rafael Cabral with a minimal drive and also an Eliasson cross fizzing through the box.
At the end George Puscas turned Taylor Moore about the corner of this box simply to shoot wildly around with Meite.
Reading must have equalised on 56 minutes when Ejaria burst into the penalty area on the left and made a low cross only for Puscas to receive his feet and fail to convert from six metres.
Six minutes later Puscas was replaced with Lucas Boye, together with Reading on Ejaria and the top inducing City countless issues. A run to the byline watched him send in another cross, which was emptied.
Reading were appearing increasingly dangerous and Lee Johnson made a double switch sending Jack Hunt along with Antoine Semenyo for both Eliasson and Diedhiou.
A pass by Semenyo saw Reading fracture at the strong run of Meite and the minute. Seeing boss Jose Gomes sacrificed one of the three centre-backs as Lucas Joao replaced Michael Morrison.
As City defender Ashley Williams poked the ball of their own net A long throw in the left brought an equaliser. From which City just about penalizing Bentleys failure to assert a cross scramble.
At a frantic finish, Bentley saved brilliantly from Citys third replacement and Boyes low shot Kasey Palmer finished weakly when he should have tasted.
