Overview

  • Scott Twine put Bristol City ahead on 35 minutes for his third goal of the season, then had a stoppage-time free-kick clawed away by Jacob Widell Zetterström.
  • Carlton Morris levelled on 86 minutes from close range after Radek Vitek parried Joe Ward’s header, giving Derby their first league point of 2025/26.
  • Bristol City remained unbeaten but missed the chance to go top before the rest of the weekend’s fixtures.
  • John Eustace praised his team’s fight and framed the performance within a major rebuild after 12 departures and 10 arrivals over the summer.
  • Blackburn boss Valerien Ismael said Travis is set to leave after a fee was agreed, with Derby expected to confirm the deal soon; Kane Wilson has returned to training and will be eased back.
