George Barton sealed the win for Gloucester with a crucial penalty two minutes from the end, securing a dramatic victory over Bristol in a Premiership showdown at Ashton Gate.

Christian Wade scored a hat-trick to help Gloucester build an 18-point lead with 17 minutes remaining, supported by tries from Freddie Thomas and Gareth Anscombe.

Bristol started strong with a quick try from Gabriel Ibitoye, followed by scores from Siva Naulago and Harry Randall.

Despite trailing 41-23, they fought back with two quick tries from Max Malins, and Rich Lane's score in the corner remarkably tied the game.

However, a penalty for Bristol's ruck infringement from the restart allowed George Barton to kick the winning points.

Gloucester's entertaining rugby, along with Wade's first Premiership tries after a six-year absence, secured a thrilling win. Wade's standout moments included an 80-yard intercept try and a clever kick down the right that led to his hat-trick.
