FKFPL Maxwell Otieno unfazed by competition for places at AFC Leopards amidst Arthur Gitego's hot form
Maxwell Otieno has been relegated to being an impact substitute at AFC Leopards in recent games following Arthur Gitego's arrival.
A display of superb, swift play around the edge of the area culminated in Tom Fellows seizing the opportunity and driving a low strike past Bristol City's goalkeeper Max O’Leary. This goal marked Fellows' fifth for West Brom in blue and white.
The hosts didn't stop there, doubling their advantage just five minutes into the second half. Another impressive display of teamwork, this time involving Mikey Johnston and Townsend, paved the way for Jed Wallace to calmly tap the ball into the net, securing a 2-0 lead for West Brom.
Despite Bristol City's efforts to mount a comeback in the latter stages of the game, with Cameron Pring and Mark Sykes missing opportunities, and a long-range effort from Taylor Gardner-Hickman needing to be dealt with by the West Brom goalkeeper, their attempts fell short.
