Swansea and South Wales Police work together to stop third anti-BLM protest before match with Watford after supporters outside booed players taking the knee in last two Championship matches

Swansea City and South Wales Police increased their security as they stopped protestors against the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement marring a third straight game at The Liberty Stadium.

Before Swansea's midweek goalless draw with Reading, demonstrators outside the ground set off horns and booed and whistled while both teams took the knee in support of BLM.

It came after a similar but smaller incident had happened before the Barnsley match before Christmas and shocked the Championship side who immediately launched an investigation.
