Roy Hodgson has won the first two of his seven-match interim spell at Bristol City

Bristol City interim manager Roy Hodgson made it two successive wins as his side hung on to beat Sheffield United at Ashton Gate.

Mark Sykes scored the only goal of the game to secure the Robins' first home win since 24 January.

The Blades had a host of chances to get back into the game in the second half, with City's on-loan Manchester United keeper Radek Vitek making a string of fine saves.

City are up to 11th, seven points off the top six with five matches left. Sheffield United stay 17th.
