Bristol City earned a fantastic 1-0 win away from home last night against Reading, as they put their bodies on the line to make sure they were returning back down the M4 with all four points.

One player that particularly stood out in the win was midfielder Jamie Paterson, who has been like a new signing since being recalled by Derby County at the end of last month.

Having got a goal and an assist when away to Wigan Athletic at the start of the month, the attacking midfielder continued to play a vital role in Lee Johnson's midfield, as we take a look at the statistics behind the City man's excellent midfield display from last night...

The midfielder was used within a midfield three alongside Josh Brownhill and Korey Smith, as the 28-year-old was used by the more advanced option within the trio, Paterson's job to get up alongside the forwards and create opportunities while driving from deep.

The attacking midfielder was the man who netted the only goal of the game, a well-timed finish after breaking in between the two centre-backs to latch onto a Niclas Eliasson pass and slot underneath the keeper, with the midfielders breaking beyond the strikers having been a rare sight around Ashton Gate in recent times.

He proved to be a threat from deep as another effort was fired off target during the game, with the midfielder aiming to test the Reading shot-stopper Rafael Cabral.

Playing a vital role in the heart of midfield, the former Nottingham Forest player was the midfielder that had to keep his composure when on the ball and be the most creative, as he was able to make 33 of his passes and always making himself available.

Having taken on a slightly different role since returning from his loan spell at Derby, Paterson has had the chance to put himself about more with the defensive side of the game, and this shone through last year.

He made five tackles during the game, the most of any Bristol City player across the game, and managed to make one interception as he was able to start an attack for the Robins.

The 28-year-old has returned to Ashton Gate in inspired form, and City will be hoping that he is able to keep this form up.
