Bristol City 3-1 Aston Villa: Tammy Abraham leads the comeback after early Jack Grealish strike

Tammy Abraham netted his fifth goal of the season as Bristol City came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-1 in front of a sell-out 21,000 crowd at Ashton Gate.

Jack Grealish fired the visitors in front in the fifth minute, connecting sweetly with a waist-high right-footed volley at the far post after Leandro Bacuna had crossed from the right.

But just before the hour mark Lee Tomlin's curling shot from the edge of the box was only parried by Pierluigi Gollini into the path of Abraham, who controlled the ball before tapping home from close range.
