Cardiff belongs in the Premier League says Odemwingie

Peter Odemwingie believes Cardiff City have found their niche in the Premier League.

The Bluebirds managed to hold Manchester United to a 2-2 draw on the weekend which has the Welsh club 15th on the table and Nigerian striker Odeminwgie suggests that they are well on their way to achieving safety.

"Belonging in the Premier League was the first thing that came into my mind when we equalised," he told Wales Online.

"The joy around the stadium, I felt like Cardiff is here to stay. There is a lot of work to be done and confidence is the key.

"This is the first year in the league, but with the performance we showed, we are not like the struggling sides.

"Sometimes we don't show the best football but the spirit of the team is very strong.

"I have been in situations where everyone improves and you become a very solid side in the Premier League."
