MATCH THREAD: “ CARDIFF CITY v FULHAM “ MATCH THREAD

Murphy is causing all manner of problems for Chambers.

A speculative ball over the top is enough of a threat for the defender to drag him down.

He’s literally terrified of Murphy getting behind him.

Free-kick Cardiff.

2-1 Bobby Reid

Cardiff deserve the lead

A stoppage in play as Bettinelli receives treatment after an awkward fall.

Bettinelli is up and alright and we’re back underway.

Murphy looks to get behind Chambers again but the defender does just enough to win a free-kick.

Fulham are struggling to deal with Cardiff’s threat behind.

Seri gives the ball away needlessly and Reid is away, winning a free-kick for a cynical foul from Le Marchand.

Gunnarsson is looking like he has never been away.

He wins the ball back in midfield, morphing into a knee slide almost in the same movement.

It’s effortlessly cool and sums up his performance so far.

2-2

Bamba moaning about 2nd goal, he was in no mans land himself marking no one.

Fulham have made a few tactical changes and it has made a difference.

Sessegnon is more prominent and Chambers is at centre-back, not full-back.

The Cottagers are on top now.




Nearly a third for Fulham and it’s a shocker from Cardiff.

Etheridge’s kick is a poor one, so too is Morrison’s first touch and it lets Sessegnon through on goal.

Etheridge rushes out to the edge of the box and somehow denies him.

Catalogue of errors.

Come on City you can win this

Anyones game

Fulham having plenty of possession early on but Cardiff earn themselves a decent chance.

Arter is allowed to drive at the defence but he fires it over the bar.

Great link up play by Cardiff.

Murphy finds Paterson, who flicks on to Camarasa and the Bluebirds break at pace.

However, Fulham scramble back and deny Reid.

Manga hits the referee with a volley. Fulham counter.

Morrison just about clears up and Cardiff counter themselves but Paterson drags his shot wide.

Breathless football.

How about putting a striker on???

Cardiff putting on plenty of pressure here from a Gunnarsson throw-in.

Fulham struggle to clear but the Bluebirds can’t capitalise on several half-chances.

Its becoming a scrap/battling match

3-2

Take it back lol

Take it back lol

Callum Patersons 50th League goal of his career

Mitrovic v Morrison is turning into a real battle as well.

Free-kick in a dangerous position for Fulham.

But Schurrle puts it in the wall

Crowd 29,681

4-2 get in

Fantastic performance all round. This will be a huge boost to the team's confidence and we'll done Neil Warnock too
