' Two summer signings deliver '

Neil Warnock was quick to strengthen his squad over the summer ahead of the Bluebirds' return to the Premier League.
And while he continues to rue Cardiff's failure to sign a top striker ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, there were two in particular that he did bring to the Welsh capital who stepped up to the plate against Burnley.
Josh Murphy was a lively presence throughout and rattled the post in the opening half after a slick one-two with Greg Cunningham on the left.
And he got his rewards after the break by finishing off a lovely move that saw Bruno Manga pick out the winger after neat link-up play with Victor Camarasa on the right.
The ex-Norwich City man must have thought he had a brace when he curled at goal from a few yards outside the area in the second period, but Joe Hart pulled off a magnificent one-handed save to deny the 23-year-old while he also rippled the side netting shortly after Cardiff went 2-1 down.
As for Camarasa, the Spaniard brimmed with confidence throughout and always looked to get his side on the front foot.
He's brought some much needed quality to the Bluebirds and was unfortunate not to net his second goal for the club with a fierce volley from inside the box in the second half.
So if the Bluebirds do somehow manage to pull off the great escape this season, you'd imagine Murphy and Camarasa will be key.
