Bluebirds strike to give Canaries wake-up call…

Deflated Canaries boss Dean Smith admitted: “Our final ball in the final third wasn’t as good as it should have been and we lacked that quality which probably cost us the game.”
His delighted Cardiff counterpart Steve Morison said: “To a man we were excellent.”
