Plymouth 0-2 Swansea
Wayne Rooney has reacted to that second Swansea goal by sending on striker Michael Obafemi from the Plymouth bench.
Obafemi is a former Swansea player, of course.
This goal won't win any beauty contests but it's a big, big moment for Bristol City!
Sunderland struggle to clear a cross at their near post, there's a game of pinball inside the area and the ball pops up at the feet of Luke McNally, who finishes calmly into the top of the net.
Are City about to inflict a first home league defeat of the season on Sunderland?

Burnley 0-0 Derby
Derby's Jerry Yates sends in the Rams first shot at goal but Burnley keeper James Trafford denies it from being a costly one as he palms it away.
Yates gets a foot on the rebound but can only ripple the side netting.
Much better from the visitors though.
Luton 1-1 Stoke
The Hatters have picked up where they left off in this second half but it's the visitors who have created the best chance so far.
Million Manhoef's first-time finds Lewis Koumas on the right-hand side.
He smashes a swirling shot at the Luton goal and draws a fingertip save from Thomas Kaminski.
Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough

December is of course massive for football and even more so in the world of darts.
The World Championship starts at Alexandra Palace on Sunday night, with Luke Humphries defending his title.
But despite having his first match in five days, he is here at Elland Road to cheer on his team, Leeds.
Will 2025 be a year for both Humphries and the Whites to celebrate?
Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough
We're back under way at the later game at Elland Road.
Liam Cullen (60 mins)
Swansea double their lead as Liam Cullen steals in at the back post to turn home a cross from the right from close range.
The Welsh side are heading into the top half of the Championship as it stands.
Is there any way back for struggling Plymouth?
Sunderland 0-0 Bristol City
Nick Barnes
BBC Newcastle's Sunderland commentator
Liam Manning has switched things around for Bristol City and are marking life very hard for Sunderland.
Sheff Wed 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn's start to the second half has fizzled and now it's looking like the Owls who want to take charge.
Todd Cantwell going to ground won't help matters.
The forward has shown real promise as he builds back his fitness after leaving Rangers this summer but his night could end up being cut short.
Burnley 0-0 Derby
Derby have put in a good shift to keep their clean sheet so far but they start the second half with some confusion at the back.
It gives Burnley's Zian Flemming the opportunity to snatch a lead for his side but Rams keeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom is there to bail his defenders out of trouble.
Portsmouth 0-0 Norwich
The ball is in the net for the hosts but it won't count.
Pompey win a corner and Freddie Potts puts the inswinger right on top of the goalkeeper.
Angus Gunn palms it away straight to Connor Ogilvie, whose volleyed finish goes over the Norwich keeper and into the corner.
But the referee's whistle had already been blown for a foul on Gunn.
A decent start to the second half by Pompey.
HT: Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough
Neil Maddison
Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees
Michael Carrick will be disappointed with his side and with the way they have moved the ball.
If Boro are to get back into this game they have to do better.
You can't blame any individual because this is a team game but you can't say anyone has done well and some talking has to be done at half-time.
You need a massive tempo in the second half because if you play with the same tempo as the first then you are going to get swept away.
Portsmouth 0-0 Norwich
We've not seen too much of Borja Sainz in the opening 45 minutes but he's involved early in the second half as he gets on the end of a long ball and forces the save from Nicolas Schmid, low to the goalkeeper's left.
Sainz is the league's top scorer with 15 goals, Canaries fans would love to see him add a 16th and set them up for a much-needed three points in the race for the play-offs.
HT: Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough
Neil Redfearn
Former Leeds manager on BBC Radio Leeds
Brenden Aaronson has been good but his finishing has been poor. He didn't have his whereabouts about him with that chance before half-time.
Middlesbrough have had little moments where they have been good and have had breaks but Leeds have played well and played the better football.
Tanaka and Rothwell have been good in the middle.
As it's gone on the midfield three of Boro have grown into the game but Leeds have been well on top.
Sunderland 0-0 Bristol City
Visitors Bristol City have made a double change at half-time, with Sam Bell and West Ham loanee George Earthy on for Yu Hirakawa and Max Bird.
HT: Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough
Adam Lanigan
BBC Sport at Elland Road
Chances for both Brenden Aaronson and Willy Gnonto in the last few minutes of the half to add to Gnonto's earlier strike.
Boro will be happy to get to the break just one down.
They will have to show more as an attacking threat in the second half, though.
But this crowd can get nervy so Daniel Farke will be drilling into his players the importance of that second goal.
Still all to play for in the next 45 minutes.
Plymouth 0-1 Swansea
Should the score stay the same at Fratton Park between Portsmouth and Norwich, a point will be enough to lift Wayne Rooney's Plymouth out of the bottom three.
They hit the post in the first half - and they scored a stoppage-time equaliser in their most recent home fixture against Watford a couple of weeks ago.
Sheff Wed 0-0 Blackburn
The team talk at half time has Rovers energised.
They work the ball into the final third and when it reaches Tyrhys Dolan, he unleashes a strike from the centre of the box.
He hasn't looked up though and his shot is aimed straight at Wednesday keeper James Beadle, who manages to collect.
Portsmouth 0-0 Norwich
Back up and running at Fratton Park and John Mousinho has made a half-time change, with Regan Poole replaced by Tom McIntyre.
Leeds 1-0 Middlesbrough
Joe Rothwell swings in a free kick for Leeds and Boro centre-back George Edmundson gets his head on it to flick it behind for a corner - just wide of his own goal.
The corner is headed away and that is half-time.
Leeds with the advantage after Willy Gnonto's early goal.
