Scott Twine scored twice as Bristol City stunned Championship promotion favourites Sheffield United on the opening matchday of 2025-26, triumphing 4-1 at Bramall Lane.
Just five minutes into the new campaign, Twine bent a wonderful free-kick over the Sheffield United wall and into the top-left corner from 25 yards out, giving Michael Cooper no chance.
They went back in front when Ross McCrorie overlapped Twine to steer a fine finish into the bottom-left corner in the 26th minute, and 37 seconds into the second half, Anis Mehmeti stroked home to make it 3-1.
New Bristol City boss Gerhard Struber, meanwhile, can celebrate a win that has his team top of the young Championship table.
