Cardiff manager Neil Warnock admits it has been a season of “kicks in the teeth” after his side slipped closer to relegation at Fulham.
The Bluebirds are closer than ever to the drop after a 1-0 defeat at Fulham, courtesy of a 25-yard wonder-goal from Ryan Babel, that left Warnock ruing his luck.
With 11 minutes remaining and a stalemate on the cards, the Dutch winger collected the ball from Cyrus Christie and hit a fierce first-time shot which curled away from keeper Neil Etheridge as it flew into the top corner.

“He was probably the only player on the pitch who could have scored it,” said Warnock. “It was a great finish and I can’t complain about that. That’s the Premier League for you. “You get what you pay for. For me it brings home the Emiliano Sala tragedy.
I thought he could have got us 10 goals. It’s been blow after blow for us. “We’ve been kicked in the teeth up hill and down dale but I just told the players to keep going. They are trying the best they can. At least I can’t blame the ref.”
