Cardiff boss Warnock admits tears at end of emotional win

Bobby Reid scored twice to secure Cardiff City an emotional 2-0 win over Bournemouth.

For the Bluebirds, it was the first opportunity for fans to pay a full tribute to striker Emiliano Sala, who is missing after the plane carrying him and pilot David Ibbotson disappeared near Guernsey 12 days ago.

Neil Warnock revealed he couldn't hold back the tears after Cardiff "did Emiliano Sala proud" on a stirring night.

He said:"I was alright until the final whistle went and I went on the pitch.

"The last 10 days or so, I can't begin to explain how difficult it's been.

"Knowing the lad, Emiliano as I did, I knew he'd have been really with us today.

"I just thought the whole club was amazing. I was really pleased for the chairman, Mehmet Dalman and Ken Choo.

"I was the proudest man to be manager of the whole club today, because the fans were just amazing.

"And I thought we deserved it."
