Swansea City were held to a frustrating draw at the hands of Birmingham City at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Zan Vipotnik opened the scoring midway inside the first half, before Patrick Roberts levelled after half-time.
Here’s how the players rated on the night.
Lawrence Vigouroux 7
Had no chance for the goal, which was Birmingham’s only shot on target. Otherwise did pretty well in keeping them at bay.
Ethan Galbraith 7
A really useful presence down the right, particularly in the first half.
Ben Cabango 6
Fairly solid in the air, but had a couple of nervy moments with the ball at his feet.
Cameron Burgess 7
Made some good defensive interventions when required.
Josh Tymon 6
Architect of the goal, but influence faded as the game went on.
Jay Fulton 7
Made a brilliant last-ditch tackle to deny Stansfield in the second half.
Goncalo Franco 8 – STAR MAN
Absolutely everywhere for much of the game. Pressed brilliantly and set up the opening goal. Unlucky not to score himself. Subbed.
Ronald 7
Put in a brilliant ball for Eom that should have resulted in a goal. Lashed against the woodwork himself in the second half.
Melker Widell 7
Ran himself into the ground. Pressed brilliantly and linked up nicely with those around him. Subbed after running out of steam
Eom Jisung 7
Spurned a really good chance early on, but was fairly good out of possession. Subbed.
Zan Vipotnik 7
Lovely finish for the goal. A menace in the penalty area for much of the evening. Subbed.
Subs:
Liam Cullen (on for Vipotnik 68) – Denied by the bar late on. Pressed pretty well and stretched the defence – 7
Malick Yalcouye (on for Widell 68) – A quiet cameo – 6
Zeidane Inoussa (on for Eom 77) – As above, really – 6
Joel Ward (on for Franco 83) – N/A
