Bristol City 1-1 Stoke

Andy Cooke's 16th-minute goal was not enough to give Stoke a confidence-boosting victory ahead of the play-offs as they drew at Bristol City.

The experienced striker shot home from 10 yards after Chris Iwelumo's flick-on had dissected City's defence.

But the Robins battled back in the second period and equalised when Aaron Brown fired his first goal of the season with a low 68th-minute shot.

The goal was made by Liam Rosenior, son of former West Ham striker Leroy, seconds after coming on as a substitute for his league debut.

Christian Roberts wasted three good chances to win the game for the Robins after the break.
