It was a game that the phrase 'relegation six-pointer' was invented for.
Cardiff City travelled down to Brighton on Tuesday night with their team in the final relegation place, to take on the side one place and five points above them in the league table.
With just four games to go for Neil Warnock's side after this, victory for the home side would all-but end the visitor's hopes of survival. The gap would have stretched to eight points, with Brighton having played one game less – giving them the opportunity to extend that to 11. Cardiff would have only 12 more points to play for.
