The Bluebirds winger took centre stage on his first Premier League start as Sol Bamba’s stoppagetime strike earned a priceless victory over 10man Brighton.

Harris, who smacked a shot against the Brighton bar, reckons Cardiff would have collected three points even if Seagulls had kept all 11 on the pitch.

50-50 things that you see let go in England were picked up.

“And we think the second goal was offside as well.”
