BIG LEAP FOR MANNKIND

BRISTOL CITY boss Liam Manning called for VAR to be introduced in the Championship after his side's controversial draw at Swansea.

Ben Cabango prodded the Swans ahead from a 15th-minute corner (below) after Brazilian winger Ronald had appeared to impede Robins goalkeeper Max O'Leary.

Manning said: "It's quite clear for me, when you see it back.
