EDITORS COMMENTS
In the thrilling opening game of the 2016-17 Sky Bet Championship season at Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol City and Wigan Athletic served up a dramatic contest filled with twists and turns. With the scoreline deadlocked at 0-0, the home team's Hordur Magnusson thought he had broken the deadlock in the 63rd minute. The Icelandic defender rose high to meet a corner kick, heading the ball past Wigan goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard, only for the referee's assistant to raise his flag for offside against Magnusson. The controversial decision left the home crowd stunned, but their disappointment was short-lived as Tammy Abraham capitalized on the ensuing corner kick. The England U21 international, on loan from Chelsea, powered a header past Haugaard from close range to put Bristol City in front. The goal was Abraham's first of the campaign, and it proved to be the difference-maker in a hard-fought 1-0 victory for the Robins. The atmosphere at Ashton Gate was electric as the home fans celebrated their team's late winner. Magnusson, despite his disappointment, joined in the celebrations, showing sportsmanship and team spirit. The controversial goal that wasn't would be a talking point for days to come, but in the end, it was Abraham's cool finish that secured all three points for Bristol City in their season opener. This photo captures the excitement and drama of that moment as Magnusson celebrates what he thought was his goal, only to see it disallowed, while Abraham prepares to score the decisive goal. The image encapsulates the unpredictability and tension of football, making it a memorable moment in the history of Bristol City Football Club.
