Bristol City striker Nahki Wells scored a hat-trick in the Robins 4-0 win against Cheltenham Town yesterday, which has drawn an excited response from fans of the South West club.

It is less than a month until the start of the 2020/21 campaign and City ramped up their preparations by taking on the League Two club in a pre-season friendly at Ashton Gate.

It was the perfect start for new manager Dean Holden, who saw his side dominate and claim a 4-0 victory.

Wells proved the hero for the Bs3 outfit, scoring a hat-trick and providing the assist for the fourth.

The 30-year-old opened the scoring by firing a low strike into the bottom corner and then steered Niclas Eliasson's through ball into the back of the net for his second.

He grabbed his hat-trick not long after, racing through the centre of the defence and producing a composed finish.

Wells joined the Robins from Burnley in January and scored five times since – adding to the 13 goals he grabbed at QPR in the first half of the season.

Did these 12 ex-Bristol City players actually ever score for the club?

 

 

 

With Famara Diedhiou's future unclear, the Bermudian looks set to play a key role for City this term and his performance against Cheltenham certainly seems to have excited the fans.
