In a goal fest, the local Bluebirds delivered a miraculous first win of the campaign ever since their promotion to the ranks of Premiership, giving the likes of their Boss Neil Warnock some positive thoughts and a reason for reassurance.

Contrary to Fulham seeing once again the debacle this club is immersed into as todays they showed off many frailties in its defensive game and hence the results, despite the win for Cardiff City these too have a reason to worry.

Still three golden points at home and exiting abruptly the relegation spots the City side was immersed in was somehow like an all-around achievement and seen like a confidence booster along of seeing the possibilities of netting important results. 

However nothing like that first half when these two squads went at it and hit each other with their best football that in the end City displayed its best to earn a much desired win. 

Despite the shootout staged by both squads and with their best players staging an ambitious and hard fought game minute by minute, the scoring duel ended with an exciting first half for both squads going into intermission tied at two goals apiece. 

As the Cottagers were the first ones to open up the score with an early and spectacular goal from André Schürrle in the 11’ minute, when Ivorian Jean Michael Seri sent an opportune and on target assist to open up the scoreboard. 

The response of the locals in a sold out Cardiff City Stadium saw the reaction of the CCFC response within four minutes when another combination between Sol Bamba assisting to a wide open Josh Murphy to put the game even. 

As Murphy in the 15’ minute putting the game even five minutes later came what could been the go ahead goal in the 20’ minute when booby Reid put the Bluebirds ahead to the joy of a frantically City legion of followers celebrating out loud. 

In spite the locals sudden dominance, in the 34’ minute the Whites equaled the score at two goals apiece when Aleksandar Mitrovic passing to a wide open and opportune placed Ryan Sessegnon and with the outlook of another exciting second half. 

This was one contested affair as the locals started going to see in what way they were going to take the lead and control of the whole match and despite the pressure and opposition along the dominance of the visiting Lilywhites.

In the 65’ minute when Bobby Reid and Callum Patterson put the home side ahead with Patterson effort for the second time and this time he was on the money with a nice goal to put Cardiff City ahead.

As in the finishing minutes, the home side once again went on the attack and successfully the combination of Victor Camarosa passing to Kadeem Harris to score the go ahead and game winner in the 87’ for the win.

A win to be cherished for a long time by these Bluebirds that will awaken a more competitive football and maybe putting on a positive run in the upcoming months, for now their only advantage over Fulham by just a point in the overall table.
