Swansea City's 'massive moment' in Bournemouth collapse as Russell Martin addresses Mark Allen exit

Russell Martin believes the loss of Ben Cabango served as a pivotal moment as Swansea City surrendered a three-goal lead in their 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.

The Welshman impressed in defensive situations before being forced off shortly after the restart having been on the receiving end of a reckless challenge from ex-Swan Jamal Lowe in the opening half. The Cherries put Swansea under relentless pressure in the second half and claimed a point with three goals in the final 18 minutes, two of which came from Wales star Kieffer Moore.

And head coach Martin admitted the lack of height in his defence is an issue that needs to be addressed.
