Gerhard Struber praised match-winner Sinclair Armstrong for his goal and for his attitude in training after Bristol City beat Birmingham City.

The Robins manager told BBC Radio Bristol: "Results-wise it's been really, really good but in possession, on this level today, was not what we want.

"We defended really, really well together and in the end it was very, very difficult for Birmingham to use their typical possession game in a direction where they could realise many good chances.

"We were super-sharp in transition from Sinclair Armstrong, in exactly the way we want to go. I was happy with the boys but you could see with all the effort they have invested in the last few games, they are empty!

"I'm very pleased [for Armstrong}. He trained with high investment for the past few months without much game time, and he is growing, stepping in the right direction."
