Cardiff City for the second game running started with no strikers and for the majority of the match never had a shot on target, but thanks to two wonder goals by Pilkington and Ralls put City ahead,but City were not able to hold on to the lead and so two points were dropped.

To be fair 2-2 was a fair result to both sides.

After Cardiff City’s first victory of the season against Blackburn, City travelled to Fulham full of confidence and were looking for back to back victories.
Fulham came at Cardiff and as usual the home side put the pressure on. City then calmed it down and got themselves in to the game, which started to become even stevens.
No clear cut chances with in the first 30 minutes.

Cardiff fans have been in excellent voice from the start.

Lex Immers and Declan John were so far City’s best players.

In the 33rd minute Gunnarsson was injured and needed treatment.

By the 38th minute Cardiff were still yet to have a shot on target.

In the 44th minute Fulham substiute 16 year old Sessegnon came on and scored for Fulham,
Aluko with some superb work down the right for Fulham, he passed to Sessegnon unmarked in the box and bang 1-0 Fulham.

City had zero shots on target and Fulham had one, the one they scored.
