Cardiff defender Bamba: How I ducked late booking for winner...

Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba has revealed how he avoided a booking for ripping off his shirt after hitting the winner against Brighton.

Bamba, 33, scored a thumping late winner against Brighton and whipped off his jersey as he celebrated.

Ref Martin Atkinson asked Bamba if he had taken his shirt off following the jubilant scenes.

He told Sky Sports: "The referee asked me if I took my shirt off and I said no."

Bamba also admitted he needed to "make amends" after allowing Lewis Dunk space to head Brighton ahead.
