Connor Roberts had loan spells with Yeovil Town, Bristol Rovers and Middlesbrough before making his Swansea debut in January 2018

Ten-man Birmingham twice fought back from behind but were denied victory at Swansea by Oli McBurnie in injury time.

Daniel James fired the hosts in front before Jacques Maghoma equalised.

Birmingham's Kristian Pederson was sent off late in the first half and McBurnie restored Swansea's lead.

Calamitous keeping from Erwin Mulder allowed Michael Morrison to level and Che Adams' superb strike put the visitors ahead before McBurnie's last-ditch effort.

The point keeps Swansea 11th in the Championship table - five points behind the play-off places - one position and a single point ahead of Birmingham.

While McBurnie's late leveller sparked ecstatic celebrations among the hitherto frustrated home fans, it was a cruel blow for a Blues side who had battled admirably with 10 men.

The result will have been particularly tough to take for Birmingham boss Garry Monk, who was back at the Liberty Stadium for the first time since he was sacked by Swansea in 2015, ending an 11-year association with the club as a player and manager.

It had threatened to be an unhappy return for Monk as his side fell behind in disappointing fashion.

James, Swansea's 21-year-old Wales winger who has been linked with a move to Leeds, played a fine one-two with McBurnie before firing straight at Birmingham goalkeeper Lee Camp, who allowed the ball to fly past him into the net.

Despite the charitable goalkeeping, James' incisive approach play is bound to have caught the attention of Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa and his thorough scouting team.

Swansea were comfortable at that point but failed to capitalise on their position of strength and became increasingly passive.

It proved costly, as they allowed Maghoma a first shot on target for Birmingham, which skimmed its way through a crowded penalty area and under Mulder.

If that route back into the game came a little against the run of play, the visitors seemed to squander that lifeline in first-half added time as Pedersen was shown a second yellow card for fouling McBurnie.

Swansea started the second half strongly and, from substitute Jefferson Montero's hanging cross, McBurnie directed a looping header over Camp and into the net.

Camp had previously made two brilliant saves from Matt Grimes' free-kick and Jay Fulton's flicked volley and, having seemingly been holding on to stay in the game, Birmingham stunned their opponents with two goals in four minutes.

The first was embarrassing from a Swansea perspective as Morrison headed the ball into the ground at the back post, only for Mulder to flap and juggle it over the line.

Reported Burnley and Southampton target Adams then silenced the Liberty Stadium crowd - save for the wildly celebrating Birmingham fans - as he whipped in an excellent curling shot from 20 yards to put Monk's side in front.

They had to weather intense Swansea pressure in the closing stages and, just as it seemed they would hold out for victory, Mike van der Hoorn nodded the ball down for McBurnie to hook in his 15th goal of the season.

Swansea City manager Graham Potter told BBC Sport Wales:

"In the end you are happy with a point and happy with the way the players kept going and kept going, because it was looking like one of those nights where we'd end up with nothing.

"This keeps our unbeaten run going and we move forward.

"We could manage the game better - we can improve - and hopefully we can move forward from this.

"There were some positives individually within the performance and as a team, even though we were not fantastic in our play, it's not so easy to break the opposition down and we created some opportunities."

Birmingham City manager Garry Monk told BBC WM:

"I think today typified what we have been this season.

"Before we even stepped on a pitch this season we had to face a lot of adversity, and obviously during it as well.

"Today again we faced adversity, going down to 10 men so early on, and the response we showed just typifies the group we have, the character they have and the spirit they have.

"Our aim this season is to keep proving we have that spirit and character which has probably been doubted in the past at the club."
