Last night Bristol City took a solid 4-2 victory over Cheltenham Town in the self-styled Johnson Cup as father and son faced off against each other once more this pre-season.
📝 Two goals from @NiclasEliasson, 🎯 from @AdamWebster31 and another for @matthewtaylor69 ensure the #JohnsonCup is staying in Bristol 💪

Matty Taylor had given us an early lead at Weston-super-Mare’s Woodstring Stadium before Niclas Eliasson helped himself to a first-half brace. Adam Webster completed our scoring as he made it four, but Cheltenham did claw a goal back ahead of the half-time break as Eros Pisano put through his own net. In the second half, they halved the deficit but that was where their scoring ended.
It makes it a hattrick of wins for Lee in the pre-season tournament and a number of players were involved who have represented both sides over the years.
We return to pre-season action this Saturday as we host Shrewsbury Town at Ashton Gate for a 1pm kick-off on July 14th.
