Gillingham 0-2 Bristol City
Image source, Empics
Bristol City reached the second round of the Capital One Cup for the first time since 2009 with a comfortable win over Gillingham.
Sam Baldock slotted the Robins into a first-half lead after good work by Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
Adebayo Akinfenwa missed numerous headed chances in search of a first goal since rejoining Gillingham.
And Jordan Wynter followed up after Emmanuel-Thomas's shot was blocked to seal the win and send City through.
It was the 19-year-old's first goal in professional football, in only his second game since signing from Arsenal in the summer.
His strike ensured City avoided a repeat of last year's first-round defeat, when Gillingham beat them 2-1 at Ashton Gate.
VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Bristol City head coach Sean O'Driscoll told 91热爆 Radio Bristol:
"Twelve months ago I was at Ashton Gate watching Gillingham beat Bristol City, so it's nice to reverse that scoreline.
"I think we played with a fluidity, which is what we are trying to get at.
"We couldn't do that before. When I came in in January it was about accruing points - it wasn't a time to experiment.
"But now we've got the chance to play in a way the players are comfortable with. That's what we've developed and it's a big step forward."
