Digg ThisMay 10 (Reuters) - An injury time goal from midfielder David Noble gave Bristol City a 2-1 away victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the first leg of their Championship (second division) playoff semi-final on Saturday.
With the game in added time Noble picked up the ball and struck a long range right foot shot in to the top corner to give his side a slender advantage ahead of the second leg on Tuesday.
Earlier Louis Carey had given City the lead in the 53rd minute converting a well worked free-kick only to give away a penalty with three minutes of normal time remaining. Palace midfielder Ben Watson converted for Neil Warnock's side only for Noble to snatch victory in injury time.
Watford host Hull City in the first-leg of the other semi-final on Sunday.
