Obafemi & Christie on the mark in Swans victory

Republic of Ireland internationals Michael Obafemi and Cyrus Christie were both on target as Swansea staged a ruthless second-half display to beat Bristol City 3-1 at home in the Sky Bet Championship.

Andreas Weimann had put the Robins ahead three minutes before the interval with his 15th goal of the season.

But the Swans turned things around in dramatic fashion after the break as goals from Obafemi, Christie and Joel Piroe delighted a 19,000-plus crowd at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Obafemi, who moved to Swansea from Southampton last summer, ended a six-month wait for his first goal at home for the club last week against Blackburn Rovers. His previous sole strike had come at Birmingham in October, but he's finally settling into a groove.

Christie made the switch to Fulham in January and also enjoyed a good day at the office, while Galway man Ryan Manning also helped Swansea to victory.

Both clubs found themselves in the lower reaches of the Championship table on the back of modest form.

But Bristol City had at least ended a three-game winless streak by beating Reading in midweek and grew into the contest after a cautious opening.

Matt Grimes and Piroe combined for Obafemi to fire straight at goalkeeper Max O'Leary from 20 yards.

Swansea were typically patient with their build-up play, but Obafemi injected some urgency with a driving run that ended with Tomas Kalas blocking his shot.

There were half-hearted home appeals for a penalty when Grimes pirouetted in the Robins' box and fell to the floor.

But Bristol City's menace was slowly increasing and Andy Fisher turned over Chris Martin's effort following a neat lay-off from Antoine Semenyo.

Alex Scott and Weimann were both off target from distance before the visitors
