Two late headers, one controversially ruled to be onside, secured a huge win for a largely uninspiring Chelsea side in Cardiff.
Goals from Cesar Azpilicueta and substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed a dramatic turnaround in South-Wales after Victor Camarasa’s volley had given Neil Warnock’s relegation-threatened Bluebirds a surprise lead.
Warnock had more than enough reason to be aggrieved with the officials for their performance, as he saw Azpilicueta equalise despite being quite clearly in an offside position when the ball was flicked on.
Antonio Rudiger was then lucky to escape with just a yellow after he brought down Kenneth Zohore when the Cardiff forward was seemingly through on goal.
The two late goals don’t tell the whole story, and in spite of the victory Chelsea’s fans made their feelings known with persistent chants of “Sarri out” as well as hailing Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was again denied his first Premier League start.
The win has breathed new life into Chelsea’s top four challenge, whilst Cardiff remain five points adrift of safety.
