Bristol City 1-0 Swansea

Williams was sent off for two bookable offences

A scrambled goal on the stroke of half time saw lowly Bristol City to victory.

High-flying Swansea failed to react to an Alex Russell free-kick, and with keeper Willie Gueret rooted to the line, defender Louis Carey shot home.

Swansea wide man Tom Williams was booked for unsporting behaviour in a bad-tempered first-half by card-happy referee Clive Penton.

An awkward 83rd-minute challenge on the outstanding Dave Cotterill then led to a red as the home side eased home.

Swansea face a club fine after having seven players booked in the game.
