Fletcher Hands It To Warnock

Striker’s own goal delights Bluebirds

- James Candy

CARDIFF manager Neil Warnock believes his side are finally rediscovering the form that took them to the Premier League.

Ashley Fletcher’s own goal in the second minute was enough for the Bluebirds to edge their encounter with Middlesbrough.

Josh Murphy used his pace to win a corner he curled towards the near post.

In a desperate bid to clear the danger, Boro striker Ashley Fletcher turned towards his own goal and flashed a header past Darren Randolph and into his own net.

George Saville blasted the ball just over after a cushioned header from Ryan Shotton set up the chance.

Cardiff had two penalty shouts turned down within a minute after Gavin Whyte was shoved by Marvin Johnson and Callum Paterson was barged over in the box by Anfernee Dijksteel, but their appeals were waved away by referee Darren Bond.
