Bristol City 1-1 Swansea City: Ntcham stunner cancels out Conway opener as points are shared

Olivier Ntcham struck his fourth goal of the season to earn Swansea City a 1-1 draw with Bristol City.

The Swans were eventually punished for some sloppy errors in the opening half at Ashton Gate as Tommy Conway fired the home side ahead on 24 minutes. Russell Martin used all five substitutions as Swansea threw everything at the Robins in the second-half. And Ntcham rifled home 14 minutes from time as the Swans earned a point to extend their unbeaten run to three matches.

Martin named the same starting 11 for the third game running, and his bench options were bolstered by the return of Ryan Manning and former Bristol City man Jamie Paterson.

Swansea wasted no time in settling into their passing rhythm, and they created the first opening of the contest in the eighth minute as Michael Obafemi crossed to Ollie Cooper who could only head wide.

But the hosts should have gone ahead two minutes later after Ben Cabango lost possession cheaply. Nahki Wells fed Conway who squared from the left flank to Antoine Semenyo who appeared destined to bulge the net from six yards out, only for Steven Benda to make what was a spectacular save from point-blank range.

Swansea created another opportunity following a stroke of fortune involving referee Andre Marriner who got in the way of Alex Scott which allowed Cooper and Obafemi the chance to break, but the latter was well challenged in the Robins' penalty area.

Despite controlling possession, Swansea continued to cause themselves problems and gifted Nigel Pearson's side another opening as Nathan Wood was robbed of the ball by Scott who threaded through to Wells who was denied by Benda.
