Tanto Olaofe had put the visitors ahead after nine minutes but goals from Ben House and Bailey Cadamarteri (pictured below) either side of half-time sealed three points for City.

Head coach Michael Skubala described City’s comeback as one of this season’s best performances.

Skubala said: "We showed we can play different options, and to a man I thought we were magnificent.

"We got caught early on for their goal, but what I really liked is that we were calm, we played and work our way in. We looked threatening.

"They changed things at half-time and went more direct because they couldn't deal with us and our speed on the top line, and the way we were building."

"I know what they're made of character-wise, but we were calm and that's what I really liked. We didn't panic and showed the maturity to do things right. It was one of the best performances this season for me."

City’s equaliser came after 41 minutes after Tendayi Darikwa sent in an inch-perfect cross from the right and House made space for himself to head the ball home.

Cadamarteri had impressed throughout the match and his fourth goal of the season saw City go ahead after 66 minutes as rose highest from Jefferies' corner to score the winning header.
