Harris: Our attack will keep scoring goals and prove all Cardiff’s doubters wrong

Paterson Dunk Bamba

have to keep racking up the points and kick on from here.

“We deserved that goal massively. Sol tried the overhead kick and it came off for once and we’ve capitalised on it.”

Brighton defender Lewis Dunk silenced the celebrations for Neil Warnock’s 100th game in charge within six minutes when he rose above Bamba to score his second headed goal in Stephens was sent off after 34 minutes for a studs-up challenge on Greg Cunningham, and the Bluebirds finally made their man advantage count in the dying seconds.

Tension turned into delirium when Bamba’s overhead kick came back out off the post before Paterson’s shot was deflected onto the bar and back into the feet of Bamba, who stabbed a shot into the roof of the net.

Cardiff remain in the bottom three, albeit just a single point behind Newcastle in 14th, but Harris believes they can use their second Premier League win as the springboard for survival.

“It makes such a difference, every point in the Premier League is big,” he added. “We’ve got three today and we’re out of the position we were in. Everyone’s delighted to go into the international break with three points.

“Week by week we’ve improved. We’ve had a hard run against top-five teams so games like this one against teams below that are ones we can get points out of.”
