Swansea dent Bristol City’s Championship play-off hopes

Swansea put a dent in Bristol City’s bid to reach the Championship play-offs as Josh Tymon clinched a 1-0 win at Ashton Gate on Sunday.

Tymon netted with a close-range finish in the 55th minute after City goalkeeper Max O’Leary could only parry a Goncalo Franco shot into his path.

City were denied by two superb first-half saves from Lawrence Vigouroux as their attempt to climb into the play-off places was thwarted.

“I see Bristol City as genuine play-off contenders. Liam Manning is a brilliant coach and they should back him long-term. This could turn out to be a very important result for us,” Swansea boss Luke Williams said.

Ninth-placed City are three points adrift of the play-off berths and boss Manning said: “I’m as frustrated as our supporters must be because everything was there apart from the result.

“Their goalkeeper has made two outstanding saves and we kept asking questions of Swansea right to the final whistle.

“There is a quick chance to bounce back at home to Stoke on Wednesday. We have shown ourselves capable of overcoming setbacks this season.”
