Bristol City vs West Bromwich Albion live: Updates from Ashton Gate (Bristol Live)

All the build-up, live match action and reaction as the Robins look to progress into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

It's Jed Wallace who is freed on the right and fires in a low cross looking for Dike. Sykes was played through on the right and his cross aimed towards Wells was mopped up safely by Button. Scott plays Bell through on goal and his pace is frightening as he bursts into the area. You could almost see the relief etched on his face. This is getting lively after a quiet first 10 minutes. So dynamic going forward and playing with a lot of confidence. What a superb watch and take a bow Sam Bell and Alex Scott... Tomas Kalas is also pushing for his first start of the season following his comeback from injury. Bristol City take on West Brom this afternoon in the fourth round of the FA Cup. A brilliant performance and a massively deserved victory. It's Wells who has been instrumental with everything City produce going forward. Almost the equaliser from a corner - it comes in from the right and Yokuslu gets his head on it but glances it just past the right post.

FA Cup: Bristol City 3-0 West Brom - Report (expressandstar.com)

Albion lost consecutive matches under Carlos Corberan for the first time as they were dumped out of the FA Cup by Bristol City.

A lovely Sykes cross from the right is well collected by Bell and dinked over Button at the near post. Jayson Molumby loses it in midfield from Tom Rogic's pass and Mark Sykes delivers a perfect low ball from the right for Alex Scott to hammer home. The tie is done and dusted moments after the break. Albion's play was sloppy and a weighty Rogic pass had too much for Molumby, whose touch was poor and got away from the Irishman. Green and yellow shirts leave it to one another and Bell punishes with aplomb with an excellent curled finish with his right foot across David Button. Sam Bell takes advantage of terrible hesitancy in the Albion box after a short corner goes uncleared. City were rarely troubled and used the ball well throughout. Dara O'Shea recovered to bail out another Ajayi loose header later in the half. Any hopes of a second-half fightback were extinguished as Bell dinked his second three minutes after the restart. The opener threatened to liven up Corberan's men. An early scare behind the makeshift back four was flagged offside. The Robins are set to lose star attacker Antoine Semenyo to Bournemouth, one of two home changes.

Sam Bell brace earns Bristol City emphatic FA Cup win over West ... (The Irish News)

Striker Sam Bell seized his chance to impress with a brace in Bristol City's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round victory over West Bromn at Ashton Gate.

Much-changed Albion threatened when Tomas Rogic shot over a minute later. Scott doubled City's lead, but the hosts then had O'Leary to thank as he produced a fine save to keep out a Daryl Dike shot with an outstretched leg. Promoted to the starting line-up in place of £9million Bournemouth signing Antoine Semenyo, the 20-year-old academy product opened the scoring after 12 minutes with an exquisite right-footed curling finish from inside the box after Albion failed to clear a corner.
