Cardiff City recorded a first victory in September as they returned to form at the Stadium of Light.


BBC

Saturday 23rd September 2017

The Bluebirds ensured Sunderland remain without a win at home in 15 successive matches in a contest memorable for two penalty decisions.

On-loan midfielder Craig Bryson put Cardiff ahead before Lynden Gooch's penalty made it 1-1 on 53 minutes.

However, Joe Ralls' composed penalty after Lamine Kone's infringement gave the Bluebirds all three points.

In the first Championship meeting at the Stadium of Light between the sides since October 2006, which Cardiff also won 2-1 thanks to a brace from Michael Chopra, Cardiff took advantage of a slow Sunderland start by stamping their authority.

Their opening goal was a picture of simplicity, a long ball from goalkeeper Neil Etheridge flicked-on by Kenneth Zohore to Nathaniel Mendez-Laing who freed Bryson to volley home with his side foot after only six minutes.

Aron Gunnarsson forced a smart save from Robbin Ruiter as Cardiff continued to press, but the visitors received a let-off just before the interval when Oviedo's 30-yard effort struck the upright with Etheridge beaten.

Cardiff did not heed the warning, however, and Sunderland equalised within eight minutes of the restart, Lyden Gooch winning and converting a penalty after Sean Morrison clumsily hauled him down.

It was a blow to Cardiff as they had seemed in control, but Morrison was hauled over by Kone with 18 minutes remaining to give Neil Warnock's side a reprieve.

Ralls made no mistake and Cardiff were comfortable in protecting their lead.
