Spitting mad Fam revenge

Monk blasted the decisions to deny his side three penalties after Jacques Maghoma and Che Adams, twice, went down in the box.

“We had three penalty appeals turned down. It was incredible how we didn’t get at least one of them,” said Monk.

“Maghoma’s was clear, the first one. There’s not only one contact, there’s two contacts from two different players.

“Then the second one, Che was pushed to the ground. The third one, there was contact, but the ref said he went down too easily.”

Johnson disagreed, saying: “The first penalty is the only one I felt could have been. It was 50-50.”

Bristol City’s former Aston Villa forward Andreas Weimann tried to silence the Blues boos, but his volley was hacked off the line by Michael Morrison on 10 minutes.

Then came the first penalty controvers­y when Maghoma appeared to be felled by Adam Webster.

Blues were sparked into life when Lloyd Kelly barged Maxime Colin, to earn a booking.

But Bristol City scored with the first serious attack of the second half.

Diedhiou glanced home Callum O’Dowda’s inswinging corner at the near post ahead of Dean.

Blues’ best chance came seven minutes from time when Lukas Jutkiewicz’s glancing header hit the inside of the post.
