Spence was storming into the Bristol ten yard box and was brought down. The resultant penalty started the end for Bristol as Trees scored two in a minute!

Lyle Taylor scored twice in injury time as Nottingham Forest stunned Bristol City and maintained their upward curve under new boss Steve Cooper.

Teenager Alex Scott's first senior goal looked to have earned City a first home win since January 26.
But Taylor levelled from the spot early in stoppage time after Nathan Baker felled Forest's Djed Spence.

And yet more drama followed as Taylor, unmarked at the back post, tapped in a loose ball to snatch an unlikely victory and extend the Robins' winless run at Ashton Gate to 17 matches.

It left those in the stadium bewildered bar the delighted Forest fans in the Atyeo Stand, who did not have much to celebrate before Cooper's arrival last month.

However they have now won four and drawn one of the former Swansea manager's five games in charge.

Bristol City had the first big chance when Scott slotted wide with the goal at his mercy, though Forest went close when Brennan Johnson's low left-footed shot came back off the post.

Scott made amends for his earlier miss to give the hosts the lead, pouncing on the rebound after Forest keeper Brice Samba had saved Nahki Wells' shot.

Wells then saw Samba tip his shot on to the post - and that was to prove a key intervention.

Forest turned the game on its head with Taylor's late double, the winner coming after Joe Lolley's effort had been parried by Bristol City keeper Dan Bentley.

Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson told BBC Radio Bristol:

"We've thrown away a very good situation. For the most part, I think we played okay.

"I thought in the first half in particular we were very good at stopping them from playing and played some good stuff ourselves.

"In the second half, we didn't get hold of the ball in the way we needed to. We were very wasteful.

"If we had drawn the game, I would still have been very disappointed. But a 2-1 defeat is really quite tough."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------UTMB--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we played them just over four weeks ago - Trees were on their arz.

With a new gaffa and the same players [+ Djed] they have wont four on the trot for the first time in 8 years and Djed is ripping the opposition a new ....... every game.

Trees are now 2 points above us and looking good - 4 points off the top 6.

Good luck to the lad, a change of scenery seems to have done him the world of good.
