But Russell Martin's Swansea salvaged a draw thanks to their second-half persistence on a day when Bristol City created the better chances.

Swansea, who have lost only two of their last 10 matches, drop to fifth in the Championship.

The draw sees Bristol City climb a place to 13th, although Nigel Pearson will feel his side ought to have taken all three points.

Their failure to convert opportunities meant Ntcham's moment of quality sent Swansea home feeling reasonably happy.

The Welsh club had come into this contest in buoyant mood following their victory over Cardiff City.

But unlike last weekend, they did not have it their own way in this local argument, with Bristol City showing a hunger to respond after their defeat at Reading last time out.

Swansea, as is so often the case, controlled possession for long spells - but it was Nigel Pearson's men who carried the greater threat.

The hosts' willingness to press high put pressure on Swansea, with three big opportunities coming after they coughed up possession in their own half.

After Ben Cabango's pass was picked off, Antoine Semenyo really ought to have scored from Conway's cross but was denied by Steven Benda's sparkling save.

Swansea's goalkeeper then stopped Nahki Wells' effort with his leg after Nathan Wood had been dispossessed by Alex Scott.

The breakthrough arrived two minutes later, with Swansea's appeals for a foul by Semenyo on Harry Darling ignored as Jay Dasilva won the ball and fed Wells.

The striker's clever pass allowed the advancing Conway to roll a crisp, low shot beyond Benda and into the bottom corner.

Swansea did have sights of goal before the break, with Ollie Cooper heading wide and then scuffing a shot from the edge of the area and Darling not connecting properly with a far-post volley.

The pattern of the game continued in the second half, with Swansea seeing plenty of the ball but Bristol City coming close as they pounced on an error.

This time Joel Latibeaudiere's underhit pass set up an opportunity for Semenyo, but he shot straight at Benda from the edge of the area.

Martin rang the changes, and it was one of his five substitutes who brought Swansea back into the contest just as it appeared to be drifting away from them.

After Jamie Paterson's corner was only half-cleared, Ntcham - who was stationed just outside the area - produced a crisp half-volley which took a slight deflection before nestling in the bottom corner of the net.
