Cardiff 3 Manchester City 2:

Unlikely victory: Frazier Campbell scored twice in Cardiff's shock win over title contenders Manchester City

Superb strike: Edin Dzeko's goal came on the back of Manuel Pellegrini demanding he score more goals

Bruising battle: Fraizer Campbell is dispossessed by City goalkeeper Joe Hart
Cardiff's
tigerish snapping and harrying meant City could not find their stride
and it took 20 minutes for them to unlock the home defence, but Andrew
Taylor was on hand to clear from Silva's astute ball across the six-yard
box.
Dzeko should have given them the lead just before the half hour but failed to control Yaya Toure's excellent threaded pass.

Midfield battle: Cardiff's Gary Medel vies for possession with City's Fernandinho

Despair: City defender poorly for Aron Gunnarsson's equaliser
But Pellegrini's men should have trailed at the interval.

Hero: Fraizer Campbell's goals could prove vital all season for the newly-promoted side

Pressure: Alvaro Negredo's late goal gave City a lifeline and ensured a nervy finishToure found Aguero and the Argentinian's lovely lay-off set-up Dzeko to blast a strike beyond Marshall's despairing dive.

Time to celebrate: Cardiff fans do the Poznan to mark Campbell's goal

Despair: Alvaro Negredo knows City are running out of time to equalise
The
rearguard effort gained its reward with 11 minutes to go, Whittingham
swung over a pinpoint corner and Campbell snuck away from Pablo Zabaleta
at the far post to nod in.

United hero? Campbell came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford
