Coventry City boss Mark Robins says his side were denied a 'nailed-on' penalty at Bristol City

Mark Robins insists his Coventry City team were denied a "nailed-on" penalty in their 0-0 draw with Bristol City as, in his view, Joe Williams wasn’t penalised for an apparent blatant handball on the goalline.

Matty Godden connected with a Kasey Palmer set-piece in the 50th minute, his header on its way to the far corner only for a combination of Andi Weimann, Mark Sykes and the crossbar - although Robins perceived it to be Williams and Rob Atkinson - to prevent it from crossing the line.

There wasn’t a huge collective protest but two Coventry players instantly ran to referee James Bell pleading their case for a penalty only to be waved away by the Yorkshire official.
