Neil Warnock Reveals Negative Press Coverage Helped Cardiff During Crucial Brighton Win

Neil Warnock has revealed negative coverage of his side spurred them on during their crucial 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers Brighton on Tuesday night.

Cardiff travelled to the south coast for a game dubbed the 'relegation showdown' and the Bluebirds produced a brilliant performance to stun the home side and take all three points in a resounding 2-0 victory.

The win saw Cardiff reduce the gap between themselves and the Seagulls to just two points, as they live to fight another day in the Premier League.

With a poor run of form leaving the Welsh side five points from safety going into the game, many had already deemed them a lost cause in the relegation battle.
