Lisav Eissat scored for Bristol City in their Sky Bet Championship match away to Preston North End on Tuesday, 1st September 2026. The fixture at Deepdale ended in a draw, a result that keeps the Robins firmly in the play-off conversation early in the season.
Reuters Connect published a series of licensable images from the match, captured by photographer Mike Martin of Focus Images Ltd. The agency Sipa USA supplied the pictures, which show Eissat celebrating his second-half strike for the visiting side. The images were made available for editorial use via the Reuters Connect platform shortly after the final whistle.
Tuesday's point leaves Bristol City in 6th place in the Championship. They have collected 7 points from their opening four matches, with a record of two wins, one draw, and one loss. Their recent form reads win, win, draw, loss. With 7 goals scored and 6 conceded, their goal difference stands at +1. They currently trail league leaders Swansea City by three points in what is shaping up to be a tight early title race.
Attention now turns to the next Championship fixture. Bristol City travel to face Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday, 12th September 2026. Southampton, a recent arrival from the Premier League, have had a difficult start to the campaign and currently occupy 18th position. This presents a significant opportunity for Nigel Pearson's side to build momentum away from home.
The full run of upcoming matches, including this key southern trip, is listed on the club's fixtures schedule.
