Cardiff 2-1 Brighton: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Late Bamba Goal Wins it for Bluebirds

Sol Bamba's late goal snatched a win for Cardiff City against Brighton, after the Seagulls played the majority of the match with ten men.

With time running out for Cardiff to find a winner, Bamba was on hand to fire the ball home after an almighty goalmouth scramble which saw the Bluebirds hit the post and bar – although replays showed that Bamba was offside in the buildup to the goal.

In what was a lively first half, the home side netted inside six minutes as centre-half Lewis Dunk headed home following poor marking at a free kick.
