Famara Diedhiou's goal against Ipswich was only the third by a Bristol City striker since 18 September

Bristol City twice came from behind to end their four-game losing run with victory over the Championship's bottom side Ipswich Town.

The Tractor Boys, who remain six points adrift and are still to win under manager Paul Lambert, went in front through Freddie Sears' low shot across goal.

Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski then diverted Famara Diedhiou's effort into his own net, only for Sears to restore the hosts' lead with another fine strike from the edge of the area.

Jamie Paterson's far-post finish made it 2-2 - the third goal of a crazy four-minute spell - before Diedhiou's header completed the turnaround.

After a lacklustre first half low on quality, it was Diedhiou's introduction as a half-time substitute that sparked City's revival, with the Senegal striker capping a combative display with his first goal since 24 October.

The Robins had mustered just six goals in their past 10 fixtures and looked on course for a fifth successive defeat courtesy of two moments of individual quality from Sears.

The former West Ham and Colchester forward has now scored four goals in four games for Ipswich - and he is likely to be key if they are to climb out of relegation trouble.

The Suffolk side have not won at Portman Road since 10 April - a run of 12 games - and have only recorded one victory in all competitions this season.

Ipswich Town manager Paul Lambert told BBC Radio Suffolk:

"It is massively disappointing for a number of reasons, because we dominated the ball, played really well and scored a really good goal.

"The second goal is the one that really annoys me because the team have got to stop crosses and defend better at the back post, those are basic laws of the game.

"We have come a long way in a short amount of time, and we are going to get setbacks, and it's how we come back from them.

"One thing I won't allow is for the energy levels to drop, we have to bounce back."

Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:

"It's a fantastic win, we really needed it, and it feels real again because we have worked intensely hard over the past three or four weeks and have got our reward.

"It's difficult to come here, with a new manager who has got them going, but we showed brilliant character in a tough game.

"I just wanted to see us going for it, with some attacking intent. It was a great day for the club because there is a lot of expectation this season.

"We are six points off the play-offs and 14 off bottom. It was a big game to get the monkey off our back and because there is love back in the room."
