Cardiff 1-0 Bristol City: Super sub Kenneth Zohore scores late winner
It was tennis coach Brad Gilbert who wrote the book 'Winning Ugly', but when it comes to football the title belongs to Neil Warnock.There's nothing extravagant or fancy about how the 69-year-old is taking Cardiff towards what would be the eighth promotion of his 38-year management career.But after Kenneth Zohore's scruffy late goal settled a horrible Severnside derby his team stand only six points shy of once runaway Championshp leaders Wolves and with a four-point gap above Villa in third. Cardiff closed the gap at the top of the table thanks to a late winner from Kenneth Zohore Zohore came off the bench and rifled into an empty net from close with just eight minutes left RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Championship round-up: Aston Villa come from behind to edge...

'We have not got Rolls Royces in our team but by gum we have some endeavour.'It was never going to be pretty, the pitch was terrible, the wind was bad, it was the coldest day of the year.'But I said to them at half time that it will be a sloppy goal that settles it and to make sure it wasn't us that made the mistake for it to happen, and I was delighted to come out of it with three points.'Zohore, a Danish striker with an Ivory Coast dad who is a second cousin of Didier Drogba, had been left out of Warnock's starting line-up, but after coming on at half time was in the right place at the right time when a Joe Ralls cross spun into his path.

QPR 2-1 Cardiff City: Debutant Paul Smyth bags Rangers winner to pile misery on Neil Warnock
As blue smoke rose from the away end after Junior Hoilett found the net late on for Cardiff City, Neil Warnock will have hoped it was not a metaphor for the way their season is going. Premature; the excitement came too soon — before deflation. Up went the offside flag to rule out the goal and extend the Bluebirds' run of Championship defeats to four in a row. Warnock was left fuming. He felt wronged by the decision, claiming the ball through was played by Queens Park Rangers' Josh Scowen.

Cardiff 3-1 Leeds
Neil Warnock felt 20 years younger as he watched his Cardiff side go three points clear at the top of the Championship.The veteran boss, two months from his 69th birthday, said he'd been inspired by going to a Neil Sedaka concert to believe he could keep defying the years.When the final whistle blew the loudspeakers were belting out the American pop star's hit Love Will Keep Us Together which seemed an apt theme song as Warnock's players took the applause from the club's biggest crowd in more than a year.'I was watching him and he's 78 and I was thinking: "What's he still doing this for?" but then I heard the crowd joining in the songs and I understood,' said Warnock.'On nights like this it's the same for me because our fans were brilliant and that atmosphere keeps you going.It was fantastic, it makes you feel 20 years younger.'I'm so proud of them, I'm proud of the whole club to be honest because we were all in it together.'Warnock has done a remarkable job - Cardiff were headed for League One when he took over at the start of October last year.But now a return to the Premier League looks a real possibility as two goals from Kenneth Zohore and another by Junior Hoilett stunned 10-man Leeds, who had defender Liam Cooper sent off just before half-time.After their blistering start to the campaign it was a hard lesson for boss Thomas Christiansen about the demands of the Championship.'I am disappointed because my team was not able to do in the first half what we needed to do.'We made mistakes which brought Cardiff into the game without them doing anything themselves to create problems for us.'This is the time of year when the slog of the 46 game Championship starts to bite and Leeds looked leggy, even with five changes from the side that had beaten Ipswich on Saturday.And they handed Cardiff the first goal on a plate as midfielder Mateus Klich slipped to let Loic Damour free Hoilett for a run that ended with the former QPR winger setting up Zohore for a tap in.Hoilett then took charge himself, finding some space outside the box before unleashing a 25-yard drive that flew into the bottom corner.Cardiff's leading scorer Nathaniel Mendez-Laing hit the side netting and skipper Sean Morrison had a goal disallowed as Cardiff's pace and power gave Leeds all sorts of problems.And when Cooper, booked a few minutes earlier, ploughed into a late tackle on Mendez-Laing and deservedly got his second yellow it was effectively over.'His experience in that situation should have stopped him diving in, but I don't want to blame him or anybody,' added Christiansen.Zohore finished off a cross from Morrison for the third, and though Kemar Roofe pulled one back thanks to a deflection it was Cardiff's night.The only down side for Warnock was the news that Wales defender Jazz Richards will be out for three months with an ankle injury.'It is going to need an operation which is a real big blow both for the lad himself and for us,' said Warnock.
