Swansea City 1-1 Bristol City: Swans denied third straight league win in entertaining contest

Swansea City were denied a third-straight Championship win after they were held by Bristol City in an enthralling encounter at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Ben Cabango tapped home his first goal of the season to hand the hosts the lead on 15 minutes, before Sinclair Armstrong poked an effort onto the post at the other end.

Ollie Cooper nearly provided the Swans with a fortuitous second after charging down Zak Vyner's clearance 40 yards out, while Goncalo Franco was also denied by a terrific save from Max O'Leary before the interval.

But the visitors would hit back to claim a point midway inside the second half, as Jason Knight rose to head home from a Scott Twine corner.

The result means Swansea edge up to ninth in the table, two points outside the top six.

Luke Williams had said in the week he wanted to ensure prospective opponents were left with their stomachs doing somersaults at the prospect of facing his team.

Perhaps Liam Cullen's stomach felt a little delicate on Sunday morning, the striker not included in the matchday squad due to illness, leaving summer signing Zan Vipotnik to make only his second league start, as one of two changes from the win over Coventry City.

Bristol City, on the other hand, showed little signs of any nausea as they arguably enjoyed the better of a frantic start to this contest.

Anis Mehmeti saw a header deflected into the arms of Lawrence Vigouroux, while Max Bird curled an effort wide following a corner moments later. Vigouroux then kept the visitors at bay again with a brilliant save to keep out Twine's close-range volley.

But after surviving that opening flurry of pressure, Swansea composed themselves and dragged the momentum of the contest into their favour.
