Bristol City 1-1 Swansea: Nakhi Wells' penalty sees hosts avoid second home defeat in a week after Jamal Lowe's drilled left-shot had given visitors the lead

Daily Mail | October 24, 2020

Nahki Wells' composed penalty earned Bristol City a share of the spoils in this meeting with fellow promotion hopefuls Swansea.

Jamal Lowe had powered Swansea into the lead early in the second-half but Wells caressed his penalty high into the net to earn Dean Holden's side a deserved point.

Both these clubs will expect to be in the end-of-season promotion shake-up in what could be one of the most madcap Championships seasons yet.
