The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Bristol City's three-match winning run came to an end with a defeat at Southampton, despite a promising first-half display. The visitors dominated the opening period and created numerous chances, but Southampton, who had not lost at home since January, were more clinical. Canada international Karl Larren scored twice, the second coming while City were temporarily reduced to ten men. Lauren Tolley pulled one back to make it 2-1, but as City pushed for an equaliser, Southampton struck twice on the counter-attack to seal a convincing win.
Cheltenham continued their impressive start to the season, moving up to fourth in the table. Charlie McCann took his goal tally to six for the campaign, and the Robins have now scored 13 goals in total. The manager sounded upbeat, saying: "The harder manager on to supply is really fun-footed, a lot of fun. I think we're getting there. I'm getting there obviously at my old age, but I feel good."
Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers suffered a dismal day at Grimsby, losing to a long ball and seeing defender Riley Harbottle carried off on a stretcher. Swindon's away struggles continued with a 4-0 defeat at York City, while Forest Green recorded their best result of the season with a 4-0 win over Gateshead. Yeovil Town lost their first home game of the season, falling 4-1 to Filed.
