Cardiff have the third worst:

Cardiff have the third worst penalty conversion rate in the Championship this season with only one goal from five attempts.

Penalties are as close to a gifted goal as football allows, often turning a limited chance into a dead ball that is harder to squander than score.

The Bluebirds may have another in the final three games that they cannot afford to miss. At this stage of the season, it could be the difference between survival and relegation.


Cardiff City fans hoped that something might happen when they saw Philogene warming up in the second half, but they probably weren't expecting him to produce a game-changing moment within three minutes of entering the fray.

The sizzling winger squared up to Stoke defender Connor Taylor in the box, beat him to the line, then cut back, drawing a panicked challenge that was only ever going to result in a spot-kick.

If anyone could break Cardiff's penalty curse this season, it would be highflying Kaba - having converted the side's first spot-kick only last weekend and bagging his eighth goal in 14 games in the first half.

The City striker stepped up, hit the ball low, to the goalkeeper's left, and... saw it saved.

"This is football," Lamouchi reflected. "He scored one more goal, an important goal for us. He can be the man of the match maybe more with a penalty."

I am shocked to hear that we are not the worst to be honest
