Bamba destroys Brighton
second league victory this season.
Lewis Dunk put Brighton in front in the sixth minute at the Cardiff City Stadium when headed home from Solly March’s free- kick. But Callum Paterson headed Cardiff ’ s 28th- minute equaliser before the visitors had Dale Stephens sent off for a lunging foul on Greg Cunningham six minutes later.
Cardiff pressed for a winner which finally arrived when Bamba slotted home in the last minute. Aron Gunnarsson’s throw- in caused chaos in the Brighton penalty area and Bamba’s acrobatic volley rattled the post. Paterson hit the crossbar with his follow- up before Ivory Coast defender slammed home the rebound.
Result: Cardiff 2 ( Paterson 28, Bamba 90) bt Brighton 1 ( Dunk 6).
