Bristol City defeats West Brom 2-1, Mowbray criticizes referee

West Brom's recent struggles continued as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bristol City, marking their third consecutive loss. Despite initially equalizing through Alex Mowatt, the match turned when Jayson Molumby received a red card for a late challenge just before the end of regular time. Manager Tony Mowbray expressed disappointment over the referee's decision not to halt play for an injury to Ousmane Diakite, which he felt contributed to the sending off. Following the red card, Bristol City capitalized and scored a last-minute winner through Haydon Roberts, leaving West Brom six points adrift of the playoff places. Mowbray criticized his team's defensive performance, particularly their inability to block shots when down to ten men. The defeat further complicates West Brom's push for playoff contention with only five games remaining in the season.
