Robins DOSS cals for VAR after ref gives Swans goal

- PHIL BLANCHE

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.

Jason Knight headed home 14 minutes from time (above right) to give Bristol City a deserved point, but Manning insisted Swansea's goal should not have stood.

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

"I've seen it from numerous angles, Max is trying to get free but it's hard when somebody has hold of you.

"I want contact, but when it's that obvious...

"Block within the laws of the game, yes, but that's a clear foul.
