A much needed victory in the league after the loss to Southampton. Christensen linked wonderfully with Baselli in the midfield and carved open the Cardiff defense. Christensen's marauding runs into the opposition box troubled their defense and one such run produced a goal and gave us the lead in the 33rd minute. Woodrow and Roberts scored 2 in the space of three minutes just before the hour.
We dominated possession throughout the match and had the better opportunities. A well deserved victory!

No goal glut today unlike our last meeting. Just a close 2-1 victory. With the next premier league game only 3 days away, I rested some key players for this game. Baselli, Balanta, Lustig, Roberts and Woodrow were not in the starting XI. Scottish striker Ross McCormack, who hasn't really shown much promise in the past year put forth a fantastic display. He headed home the first and was a thorn in the opposition defense for the 80 odd minutes he played. Christensen scored our second as he thumped the ball home after a forward run into the box.
A good victory after going down to an early goal. We are now at the top of our group , tied on points with AS Saint-Etienne.
