Swans get saw points
business and try and win at Reading.
“Hopefully, we can play as well as we did today. In the Championship, we know that anything can happen.
“We have really seen our younger players grow up in recent weeks. Even in the down moments – which you have to go through to be a first-team player – they have come through well.
“We will go to Reading in a good frame of mind.”
Swansea are regularly incapable of holding the lead but they clung on here thanks to Diedhiou’s miss from the spot, the penalty awarded after the striker had been pulled down by Ben Cabango.
The hosts were also helped by some wayward finishing from his team-mates who failed to get on the end of crosses whipped in by Jamie Paterson.
Bristol City caretaker head coach Dean Holden said: “The game swings on the penalty miss. He has scored big penalties before and it’s gone off the inside of the post. Who knows what would have happened if we had put that away.
“I have a lot of respect for Steve Cooper and the way he sets his team up, but we have come here with a plan and at times they couldn’t get near us.
“It’s just about the final, end product.
“Although we have had lots of efforts on goal, we probably didn’t work the goalkeeper enough.”
