Alfie Mawson went head-to-head with Cyrus Christie on Saturday afternoon as Nottingham Forest welcomed Championship high-flyers Bristol City. Mawson captained the Robins to a 2-1 win, which keeps them at the top of the pile having won all four of their opening league games.
Christie came close to getting on the scoresheet with what would have been a brilliant individual goal. After dribbling beyond a number of defenders, his powerful long-range effort was excellently denied by Daniel Bentley.
Steven Sessegnon remained an unused substitute for Dean Holden’s side.
Marcus Bettinelli helped Neil Warnock celebrate his 1,500th game in management with a win against Barnsley. It was a relatively quiet day at the office for Betts, with the Yorkshire side failing to register a shot on goal until the 89th minute.
