Smith streak continues

Matt Smith fired the 11th goal of his loan spell from Fulham to help Bristol City back to the top of League One with a 2-0 victory over Fleetwood at Ashton Gate.The big striker shot home from eight yards after 52 minutes when the visitors failed to deal with Joe Bryan's curling free-kick into the box from the left.City had to wait until injury time to clinch the points, Luke Freeman running at the Fleetwood defence before feeding fellow substitute Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, who shot low past Chris Maxwell.How the game reached half-time without a goal was a mystery. Jamie Proctor, Josh Morris, Nick Haughton and Gareth Evans all went close in a bright Fleetwood start.City appeared to be feeling the effects of a hectic league and cup fixture programme, but gradually got their game together to create some excellent chances.Maxwell saved well from Kieran Agard and Smith, while Aden Flint was thwarted by a goalline clearance from Morris and headed inches over from a Wade Elliott corner.
