Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has revealed Kevin de Bruyne admitted his first goal for Manchester City was a fluke.
City enjoyed a 2-0 win against the Bluebirds.
And Warnock said: "I don't think they could've given us any more. I was disappointed to concede early doors. They move it so quick it is difficult.
"It would have been interesting if we scored at the end to see how nervous we could have made them, but I have to be pleased.
"The first goal - Neil Etheridge played really well - he knew he should've saved it. I shouted to Kevin de Bruyne at half-time, 'Kevin, did you mean that? Tell me the truth'. He said 'no I didn't'. So I can let Neil off, although he should still save it!"
Asked about staying up, he added, "You can afford the odd draw but I think we have to win three at least, add a draw and who knows?"
