Cardiff City needed an inspiration from somewhere and Callum Paterson took it upon himself to shoulder the responsibility as he pulled level at 28 minutes into the encounter. Brighton had the tides against them when Dale Stevens was shown a straight red card as they had to see out the rest of the game with 10-men.
The game looked bound to end in a draw until Sol Bamba's late strike in the 90th minute threw the home fans at Cardiff into ecstacy as they went wild to celebrate all three points. Brighton were left kicking themselves after they looked set to book a winner after taking the lead but faltered.
