Nigel Pearson: Bristol City guilty of overplaying after conceding late equaliser

Nigel Pearson admitted his Bristol City side were guilty of overplaying as they conceded a last-gasp equaliser in a 3-3 Championship draw away to Blackpool.

Theo Corbeanu’s 90th-minute strike ensured the points were shared at Bloomfield Road in an entertaining game – Blackpool’s second successive 3-3 draw.

But for the Robins boss, the overriding sensation was one of frustration, after seeing his side twice come from behind only to throw away a 3-2 lead through their own overambition.

Pearson said: “We’re disappointed that we didn’t see the game through because we played well. We came up against a side who caused us quite a few problems with a relatively-direct style at times. “We went behind twice, bounced back, kept our composure and it’s just unfortunate that individual errors have cost us those two extra points. “Once a bit of time goes by, I’ll reflect in a slightly-different way but at the minute, we’ve basically thrown away a couple of points which is very frustrating because we’ve played well. “I know it’s a mistake.
