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.

“I know it’s a mistake. I can’t change that now. There’s no point me trying to overthink that. We overplayed.

“This is not an easy place to come to. The atmosphere is quite hostile for visiting teams, both players and the staff. It’s a good football venue to come to and you need to be committed to get something from it.”

First Antoine Semenyo equalised with only his second touch after coming on. Then Marvin
