CITY bounced back to winning ways as they came from behind again to beat Carlisle 3-1 at Valley Parade.
T&A chief sports writer Simon Parker provides the match stats and player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
It’s been a while since City fans got excited by the sight of a genuine old-fashioned winger. Dylan Connolly delivered a proper off-your-seats display.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Zeli Ismail crashing in City’s third goal with virtually the last kick meant Valley Parade could finally relax and enjoy the win.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Ben Richards-Everton’s red card. Whether it was harsh or not, tackles like that in the modern era are always asking for trouble.
TACTICS
City made two changes from the Cheltenham loss. Callum Cooke got his first start while Paudie O’Connor returned at the back.
