Cardiff City 2 Brighton and Hove Albion 1: Bamba the hero as Bluebirds break down 10 men

Cardiff City left it late but recorded their second Premier League win of the season against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Sol Bamba's late strike fired Cardiff City to a valuable 2-1 Premier League home win against 10-man Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

Neil Warnock's 100th game in charge of the Bluebirds looked set to end in disappointment after a hugely frustrating second half saw struggling Cardiff fail to break down their outnumbered visitors for long periods.

Brighton led early through Lewis Dunk's header but were pegged back by a Callum Paterson equaliser and soon had Dale Stephens sent off, leaving Chris Hughton's men to play the final hour a man down.
