Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock struggled to conceal his fury after his side's 1-1 draw at Bristol City.

The Eagles looked set to pick up three points from the Ashton Gate clash until City scored an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time, after referee Richard Beeby had signalled only four extra minutes would be played.

A livid Warnock said: "Why the referee played over the four minutes at the end only he will know.

"I've tried to see him, but he refused. I have to be careful what I say because it could cost me a lot of money, but I'm very disappointed.

"You can plan for the opposition, but not the officials. I don't think we deserved that at the end and it's very frustrating."
