Solskjaer proud of Cardiff fight-back

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with their fight-back for the 3-3 draw at West Bromwich Albion.

Solskjaer's men had fought back to level after conceding two goals in the first nine minutes, only to seemingly see their hopes shattered when Baggies substitute Thievy Bifouma scored deep into added time.

But moments later Mats Daehli turned and lashed home Wilfried Zaha's right-wing cross at the other end to send the travelling fans wild.

Solskjaer, no stranger to late drama in his playing career, said: "It was very exciting but I think I've calmed down now.

"I'm so happy for the players and fans that we got the goal we deserved because we did not deserve to lose that game - absolutely no chance.

"We have had a couple of kicks in the teeth lately but we got the luck we don't feel we have had. We have deserved more points from the performances we have had and finally we got the other side of it."
