Posted: Sat Apr 13, 2019 4:07 pm
Cardiff's slim chances of avoiding relegation suffered a further setback with a controversial defeat by Burnley at Turf Moor.
BBC Sport
With the Clarets leading through Chris Wood's header from a corner, Cardiff were awarded a penalty when home defender Ben Mee headed the ball against his own arm.
However, referee Mike Dean reversed the decision after talking to his assistant - much to the anger of Cardiff's players.
Wood headed a late second goal to leave the Bluebirds five points from safety with five games remaining after a sixth defeat in seven games.
In an incident-packed game, Burnley's Ashley Barnes was booked for kissing Joe Bennett on the nose after an overzealous challenge by the Cardiff defender.
Now an 11 point gap between Burnley and Cardiff!
Will the Bluebirds survive?
