#2 Heartbreak for Bristol City but the contest is far from over

It is still a night to remember for Bristol City and their fans

Just like in the match against Manchester City's storied neighbours, Bristol City were willing to give it their all once again. Riding on the back of 3 back to back defeats post the United triumph, Bristol had to dig deep to find the spark.

But a late, late strike from Sergio Aguero felt almost unfair on the visitors after the kindof defensive shifts they had put in, with Flint, in particular, being one of the best players on the night.

If Bristol City can repeat the heroics against Manchester United in the second leg of the semi-final fixture, they can pull off one of the greatest upsets in the history of English football in a fortnight.
