Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff City

For Sean Dyche Clarets it is back to their winning ways and todays they prove it with a lot of bravado, as an opportune Sam Vokes came on the clutch and netting three valuable points on the road. 

Still do not count the local Blue Birds out as manager Neil Warnock looking to deliver a one of a kind afternoon for the City faithful and crowning it with a much-desired win that could at least start lifting this squad feeble confidence. 

The need to deliver that elusive victory somehow is putting City manager in a state of siege as he is seeing his project coming to a dead end with a not so amazing run that puts this squad in the bottom three spots of relegation. 

As a fighting Cardiff, side started making strides and taking an all-around initiative that in a matter of one minute the CCFC had a couple of clear chances to open up the score in the 17’ via Josh Murphy and in the 18’ Greg Cunningham. 

As well in the 32’, minute Sol Bamba had his opportunity with a wide shoot and two minutes later Kenneth Zahore tried his luck unsuccessfully, as the locals after many tries in the first half their intentions were in vain. 

Despite the efforts put in the locals, halftime came up with the score tied at zero goals, despite the dominance by the local City lads looking forward at any cost to open up the scoreboard with no luck. 

However, the way manger Sean Dyche spoke to his side, on the second half we saw the display of a much-improved game by the Burnley boys looking at any cost, to try and get back and net the win at any cost. 

In the minute 51’ Burnley Ashley Westwood assist to a wide-open Johann Berg Gudmundsson to open up the scoreboard in favor of the visiting Clarets with a 1-0, lead to a stunned Cardiff City Stadium in what seemed to a strange play.   

Nine minutes later the locals rally with a one two combination from Bruno Ecuele Manga finding an open Josh Murphy in the 60’ minute to level the scoreboard and sending the whole of City Stadium to a frenzy with a gem of a goal in the 30. 

Suddenly we had a contest and both squad looking forward at any cost to net the win, the response from the hard working Clarets came in the 70’ minute when Johann Berg Gudmundsson managed to filter a pass inside the area.

There Sam Vokes by shaking off his defender after that amazing pass the opportune moment came when the Clarets operate push the ball and silence the whole of City Stadium and seeing the visitor’s defensive game steeping up for the win. 

So far, with back-to-back wins for Burnley uplifts this squad to twelve spot in the overall table and with seven points, for the Clarets it looks like they have their positive game rhythm back.
