A game seemingly destined to finish goalless ended in a third successive City defeat thanks to a huge slice of luck in favour of visitors Brentford.

The Robins had started impressively, throwing everything at the Bees in the first quarter of a match which then descended into a chanceless slugfest.

With a stalemate on the horizon, substitute Sam Saunders saw his long-range shot cruelly deflect into the net to break the deadlock and deflate the home crowd 11 minutes from time.

When Saunders' corner kick six minutes later was converted at close quarters by Clayton Donaldson, the result was settled.

City replacement Marlon Harewood tapped home his first goal for the club in stoppage time, but a dramatic comeback was not forthcoming.
