Cardiff boss Warnock thanks players for winning birthday present

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock was delighted to celebrate his 70th birthday with victory over Wolves.

Cardiff climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone and up to 15th place as second half goals from Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett produced another comeback victory for Warnock's side as they won 2-1.

"I thanked the players for letting me have a nice birthday," Warnock said.

"It wouldn't have been a nice one if we'd lost because the bad feeling stays with you for a couple of days. I'm celebrating by going for a quiet meal, with my four kids and my wife.

"This is why I'm still in the game, when you see your team perform like that. It's the feeling you get on nights like this that keeps me going. You have to enjoy these moments."
