Bristol City going to Wembley

Bristol City came back in Extra time to win their championship playoff match against Crystal Palace 2-1.  Palace went even on aggregate with a Ben Watson strike in the twenty fourth minute.  The game languished on until in Extra time when Lee Trundle put the robins ahead with a 104th minute strike.  They sealed the deal 6 minutes later with a goal by Michael McIndoe.  Palace showed their true colors today, as they rose rapidly out of the middle of the table to get into a promotion spot.  They were not able to sustain their form and got beat pretty convincingly in the end, by a club with far less resources and money.  
Bristol City will presumably play Hull for promotion next week, as Hull has a two goal advantage over Watford and the upcoming leg is at home.
