It really was a night to remember at Ashton Gate as City totally outplayed David Moyes West Ham in an enthralling game which got off to the perfect start thanks to Tommy Conway's coolly struck goal after just 3 minutes.
City's physical approach saw them get stuck in against a side lying 6th in the Premier League and the tension reached fever pitch after Benrahma was sent off early in the second half as he retaliated with a kick to Joe Williams chest after the resurgent City midfielder had won a crunching tackle.
City were top dollar in all areas and all they need to do now is maintain this form for the remainder of the season.
