Cardiff City attacker Aron Gunnarsson insists they can recover from their home thrashing by Manchester United.

It promises to be a difficult season for Cardiff as they fight relegation but Gunnarsson says they must take the positives and the biggest one of that they are not in the drop zone for Christmas despite the United defeat.

Gunnarsson said: “Especially away from home, we need to start picking up points away from home. We've obviously been good here at home apart from today.

“We need to keep going but looking at the table, at Christmas time, we'd have taken the position at the moment but we need to build on that and stick together even though this loss was tough to take."
