Scott Twine makes Anis Mehmeti admission after Bristol City win over Plymouth at Ashton Gate
The offensive midfielder for Bristol City scored his second goal of the season on Saturday as the Robins crushed Plymouth Argyle.
In Bristol City’s crushing of Plymouth Argyle at Ashton Gate, Anis Mehmeti scored his second goal of the season, and Scott Twine acknowledged that he was attempting to block his effort.
The offensive midfielder gave the Robins a 4-0 victory over Wayne Rooney’s team on Saturday afternoon. Mehmeti’s brace and Sinclair Armstrong’s late right-footed goal guaranteed that all three points would stay in BS3.
On a different day, Twine may have been leaving with a hat-trick when Argyle custodian Daniel Grimshaw parried a well-stricken effort in the second half.
In the end, Mehmeti’s right-footed drive hit his body, wrong-footed the Plymouth custodian and trickled into the bottom corner to put the former Burnley player on the scoresheet, although Twine wasn’t sure what had happened.
In his news conference after the game, the 25-year-old acknowledged, “I can’t say I meant it too much to be fair, I didn’t have much time to react.” “To be honest, I attempted to move aside, but it simply hit me and I had no idea what I was doing.
“Anis would definitely say it was going in, but I haven’t seen it return, so I’m not sure. That kind of goal scoring is fine with me. I’ll take them more than the others to
Although Mehmeti’s frustrations would have been eased by his two second-half goals, the Albanian international was potentially denied a first hat-trick in Bristol City colours by Twine as his initial strike appeared to have beaten Grimshaw.
However, the attacking midfielder clearly wasn’t too worried about upsetting his teammate, as he admitted they didn’t even need to exchange words as they celebrated the opener.
Twine said after the game, “I just started laughing to be fair when I looked at him when I scored.” “I was powerless to stop it, but I had no idea if it was going in.
“It just went in the bottom corner and I just looked at him and laughed.”
With the victory on Saturday afternoon, the Robins ended a record of five games without a victory in front of the Ashton Gate crowd that had lasted since September and avoided a run of three straight Championship losses.
Twine is adamant that there is still a lot of confidence in the Robins’ locker room going into next weekend’s trip to Fratton Park, despite the fact that recent results haven’t quite lived up to the expectations of supporters.
