'Always rated Swansea City' - Bristol City fans praise rivals after doing them a favour against Derby County in play-off race

Bristol City fans have been thanking one of their rivals for doing them a favour last night.

Swansea City took points off Derby County in  1-1 draw to ensure that the Robins' play-off race goes down to the last game of the season.

There was fan trouble between the two sides when they met at Ashton Gate earlier this season but Robins supporters were very keen to praise the South Wales side for their exploits yesterday.

The recent EFL rule change that could see Bristol City and Middlesbrough handed a boost when Derby County play West Bromwich Albion  

The draw means that the Robins need to beat Hull City on Sunday and hope that Middlesbrough fail to beat Rotherham and Derby lose to West Brom.

City fans are now bracing themselves for an exciting, if nervy, finish to the season.
