Cardiff's commitment towards the end of their Carabao Cup victory over Burnley on Tuesday night was met with approval from manager Brian Barry-Murphy. The Corkman's League One side defeated their Premier League opposition 2-1, progressing to the fourth round of the cup.

Joe Colwill gave Cardiff the lead on the half-hour mark. Ireland international Callum Robinson doubled it five minutes later. An error from Cardiff goalkeeper Nathan Trott was punished by a superb finish from Zian Flemming after 56 minutes but the Welsh side held out for the win at Turf Moor.
