Relegation threatened Cardiff City travelled to Elland Road with a weak squad due to injuries and shocked 5th place Leeds United, here is what both managers had to say after Cardiff City’s victory.

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock:

“We set our stall out, they’re a good side. We had to be on top of our game really and I thought the first 20 minutes were really helpful, we quietened the crowd a little bit and didn’t give them much space in midfield to pick the holes, which they’re very good at.

“The longer the game went on the more comfortable we became. From one to 11 today we were fantastic.”

“It was the best performance since I’ve been at the club – and in the circumstances it’s not far off being the best away performance since I’ve been a manager.
“Because it was complete, even down to the save at the end to make sure we got the clean sheet. The two centre-halves were outstanding, the midfield did their job and we’ve created chances which is not something we do enough of. I thought every department was fantastic with Kadeem Harris, a winger, heading it off the line just epitomised it.

“So to get a win here like that is great – if you can’t enjoy coming to Elland Road in front of this crowd there’s something wrong with you. At my age it could be my last time so I’m glad we won.”
Warnock had some words of sympathy for beaten boss Garry Monk, adding: “He’s my manager of the season by a mile – and he shouldn’t be disappointed because they won’t come up against us every week!”
