Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill has hailed his "fantastic" side after they went 13 points clear at the top of the League One table with a win over Yeovil Town.

The Robins continued their promotion bid in emphatic fashion last night as they beat their local rivals 3-0 at Huish Park.

Cotterill now wants his players to push on and secure themselves a place in the Championship for next season.

"I'm delighted with the last three games, which were away from home, and our return has been brilliant and to go 13 points clear is a fantastic achievement," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"It was good, I thought we played some really good football, but we had too much patience and not enough tempo in the first half. The fans were great. I said when I came here that they have had a lot of lean times and hopefully they have enjoyed the ride and we are not finished yet."

City are back in action on Saturday when they host Gillingham in the league.
