Sabri Lamouchi has lift-off as Cardiff City manager thanks to a stunning Perry Ng free-kick and a lovely Callum Robinson solo effort which helped down Birmingham City late on at St.
Andrew's. It's been three long months since the Bluebirds tasted the sweet nectar of three points, but this trip home from the Midlands will be sweeter than ever.
In an attritional match, for the most part devoid of any quality, it was Ng who provided the blockbuster moment when he burst the net with a fantastic strike from 20 yards out with just minutes left on the clock.Then, when the game was ticking down, and Birmingham threw everything at the visitors, it was Robinson who popped up at the top of the pitch before he jinked past three players and smashed it into the roof of the net.
Fourteen games without a win, well, that clock can be reset.Lamouchi will hope this is only the beginning, of course. They are 14 more cup finals left to play, remember.
