Paulo Sousa was left frustrated again after a dour goalless draw against rivals Bristol City left Swansea with just one win from seven Coca-Cola Championship encounters this season.

This result leaves the Swans languishing in the lower reaches of the Championship after they largely dominated but failed to break down a resolute rearguard display from Gary Johnson's men.

Liam Fontaine almost gave the visitors an early lead, only for Dorus de Vries to pull off a superb diving save.

However, it was the hosts who had the majority of the chances, with Ashley Richards, Gorka Pintado and Nathan Dyer all spurning first-half opportunities.

There were numerous chances at either end of the pitch in the closing stages, but the score remained goalless.
