Sunday Recap

The two teams produced very little entertainment in a dour first 45 minutes at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Martin Paterson came close to an opener just before half-time, but his header was cleared off the line by Matej Vydra.

Opta highlighted the lack of quality on show in south Wales:

The game improved after the break, as Gudmundsson headed the visitors into the lead within five minutes of the restart. Ashley Westwood delivered a cross from the left, and the Iceland international squeezed a header past goalkeeper Neil Etheridge at the far post.

Their lead lasted less than 10 minutes, as Cardiff managed to find a quick response. A break down the right saw Victor Camarasa find Bruno Manga racing forwards. The full-back cut the ball back to Murphy to fire his first Premier League goal past Joe Hart.

The momentum was suddenly with the home side, and Murphy was denied a second by a good save from Hart who tipped his shot from range over the bar.

Burnley then retook the lead with 20 minutes of normal time remaining. Gudmundsson crossed from the left and Vokes steered his header home to secure all three points.

Match of the Day noted how effective Gudmundsson can be:

It's an important win for Burnley who have shrugged off a slow start to move clear of the relegation zone. Cardiff are finding it tough going back in the Premier League and face a trip to Wembley Stadium to take on Tottenham next.
