Yu Hirakawa scored a 91st-minute winner as Bristol City dramatically came from behind to win at Burnley with a late, late show. Burnley looked set for their first home league win in 11 months when Aaron Ramsey scored his opening league goal for the Clarets - three years after joining from Aston Villa. But Rob Dickie headed the Robins level eight minutes from time before Hirakawa fired home. City have won three games in a row under manager Michael Skubala to climb to fourth, level on points with the leaders, while Burnley remain winless this season and have slumped to the bottom of the Championship. The unhappy Clarets fans, who must fear they could do a Leicester City and suffer back-to-back relegations, vented their fury on owner and chairman Alan Pace and boos rang round Turf Moor. The Robins had the better of the few efforts there were early on and Lorent Tolaj flashed a deflected shot wide before Jed Wallace went close to scoring when his curler was well saved by Max Weiss. The game came to life in the second half when Ramsey received Oliver Sonne's pull-back and lashed home on 56 minutes. Ramsey cost £12m from Aston Villa in August 2023 and his Burnley career was derailed by injury before he went on loan to Leicester City last season. Back came the Robins and they should have equalised when Hirakawa fired against the bar and Tolaj shot over from the rebound when he had the goal at his mercy. City kept up the pressure and Joe Williams volleyed just over before Dickie hauled them level with his first goal since November when he headed home Rio Cardines' cross. The visitors sensed a winner and it came in the first minute of stoppage time when Hirakawa shot home left-footed from outside the box, also for his first goal since November. 'It was a difficult afternoon' - reaction Burnley manager Nicky Hayen told BBC Radio Lancashire: "I think it was a difficult afternoon. You have to be honest in that. It wasn't a nice game to see when you're leading 1-0, 10 minutes before the end of the game. "It's also a quality to push this over the line and to win and to win ugly. This is something we didn't do. You just have to be more ruthless, be stronger in duels, win second balls. At the moment, we're too soft and easy in that. "I know it's already a long time [since last league win] and, of course, everyone wanted to play to win. It's not because of bad intentions, but you have to keep the structure and in the end, throw your body in front of the ball." Bristol City manager Michael Skubala told BBC Radio Bristol: "I'm very happy, very happy. Not just because of the three wins, but again the character of the group. "I thought the players were magnificent today, and the week's been hard for us because of the travel. You know, up to Preston and then back up to Burnley. It's been a really tough week for the lads, but I think they've been great. "I thought they scored a little bit against the run of play and then after the goal, I thought we were the better team and deserved the win. So it's always nice when you get the win when you think you deserved it."
