Nigel Pearson content with 'fighting point' after admitting tactical gamble in Bristol City draw

Nigel Pearson praised his side for showing defensive resilience to hold onto an important point after taking a gamble with his team selection.

The Bristol City manager rested Mark Sykes and Jay Dasilva and opted for Andi Weimann and Antoine Semenyo in the wing-back positions. The tactical move paid off in the first half when the Austrian grabbed his first goal since the 1-1 draw with Wigan in August.

It was a superb attacking move that saw Alex Scott feed Weimann out on the left who spread the ball to Tommy Conway. The youngster fed the ball to the back post where his team-mate was on hand to bury his finish into the corner.
