His cheeky free kick under the wall left Neil Etheridge watching on as it rustled the net. Shortly after, Bernardo Silva had a goal ruled out for offside.<br \/>\nThe second half showed much of the same as City were comfortable in possession and controlled the game. Cardiff had a few decent half chances with Junior Hoilett testing the City keeper and Kenneth Zohore blasting over, but ultimately the City defence were untroubled.<br \/>\nA shock was result was unlikely against this City side who have only lost once this season in the Premier League. This game was a free hit for Cardiff and they can be proud of their efforts.<br \/>\nBefore the game Neil Warnock said City were the best team in the world. After the game, he said: \u201cWe knew there would be a difference in class and they didn&#8217;t disappointment me.<br \/>\n&#8220;If they had our chances we might have scored two or three.<br \/>\n&#8220;We had some good chances, but that lack of quality showed the difference in class. But I really enjoyed it, we could have easily gone under but all credit to the lads they stuck in there.&#8221;<br \/>\nPep Guardiola praised his sides commitment after the win.<br \/>\n\u201cA few players have played a lot of minutes, but again they were ready.\u201d He said.<br \/>\n\u201cPlaying in the FA Cup away against Championship teams in top of league, like Cardiff are at the moment, is so complicated, we reacted like a mature team. I am so proud.\u201d<br \/>\nCardiff will look to bounce back on Saturday as they face a tough trip to face Leeds at Elland Road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CARDIFF City left-back Joe Bennet has apologised following his dangerous foul on Leroy Sane in the Bluebirds&#8217; 2-0 FA Cup defeat.
