Neil Warnock praises Cardiff players for paying tribute to Emiliano Sala with late win over Southampton
Neil Warnock praised his Cardiff players for paying tribute to the late Emiliano Sala with a crucial 2-1 win at relegation rivals Southampton.At the end of the week in which the club-record signings body was recovered from the crashed plane that had been taking him to Cardiff, the Bluebirds secured back-to-back top-flight victories with a 2-1 victory thanks to Kenneth Zohores 93rd-minute winner.2

Neil Warnock could not contain his excitement at full-time

Southampton had equalised just two minutes earlier through Jack Stephens, who cancelled out Sol Bambas opener, but the Welsh clubs never-say-die attitude lifted them out of the relegation zone.Cardiff boss Warnock said: “We could easily have folded, but we were determined.“We’re limited, but you can’t question their character and what they’ve got under their shirts, because they’ve bags of heart.“We’ve won two on the trot but it should be three; we should have beaten Arsenal. That was the first game since the tragedy; the three games since we’ve been superb.2

A minute’s silence was held for Emiliano Sala before kick-off

“Emiliano was a fabulous lad, and it’s appropriate we came down with our black armbands on and put in a performance like that.“We could have put that ball in the corner from the free-kick, but it’s ‘We’ve got to put it in the box and have a go’. The next few games are all winnable.“All three subs were brilliant. Ken’s (Zohore) back to himself; his eyes are bright. Victor’s (Camarasa) made the goal, and (recent signing Leandro) Bacuna fitted in as if he’s been there his whole life.”After the game, the Saints confirmed two fans had been detained by police for making sick gestures towards the visiting supporters. The yobs were caught on camera spreading their arms and making plane gestures. Stewards eventaully stopped them and Hampshire Police took the duo’s details.A statement from the Saints said: Southampton Football Club can confirm that two fans were detained and had their details taken by police during our match against Cardiff City on Saturday.The club will continue to work with Hampshire Police to identify any individuals deemed to have made indecent gestures towards Cardiff supporters.Such behaviour has no place in our game and will not be tolerated at St Marys.The club will be taking an extremely firm stance against anyone involved and intends to ban those supporters identified.
