(UTV|COLOMBO) – Sam Vokes scored the winning goal as Burnley beat Cardiff to extend the Bluebirds’ winless start to the season.
Vokes stooped to head home a Johann Berg Gudmundsson cross with twenty-minutes remaining to leave Neil Warnock’s men above only Huddersfield in the Premier League.
Gudmundsson had headed Burnley in front with his side’s first effort on target six-minutes after half-time.
Cardiff summer signing Josh Murphy, who had a first-half effort disallowed, struck a deserved equaliser on the hour mark with his first Premier League goal.
But the Welsh side were level for just ten-minutes before Vokes’ header at the end of a rare and incisive break took Burnley up to 12th in the table.
