Cardiff boss Dave Jones felt his side's performance in their 2-1 victory over fellow Coca-Cola Championship promotion hopefuls Leicester was their best of the season. "I think that was our best performance this season because of the circumstances" said a delighted Jones.

"We deserved our half-time lead and I knew they would come at us after the break, but I didn't expect to lose three players through injury and have one sent off.

"It was a typical Tuesday night game and the place was bouncing because the fans were magnificent.

"The players deserve all the praise going because they were not going to lie down.

"Chris Burke was a passenger with a tight hamstring so really we were down to only eight outfield players by the end, but I can't fault anyone and they are all shattered.

"We had to defend 20 yards out, let them have the ball in midfield, and then defend when it came into the danger area."
