Cardiff and Swansea fans and players goad each other while clashing with stewards

Cardiff and Swansea fans and players goad each other while clashing with stewards during the South Wales Derby on Saturday afternoon.

Liam Cullen scored in the 34th minute and missed a penalty with Jamal Lowe making sure the Swans were picking up all the points when netting in the 96th minute to earn Luke Williams’ side the bragging rights.

Swansea’s fifth win in the last six meetings with their fierce rivals, means that they move up to 15th in the Championship, seven points clear of Huddersfield in 22nd, while Cardiff’s hopes of a late dash for the playoffs were dented, remaining eight points off the pace in 11th, with eight games to go.

Swansea’s Luke Williams: “We won in a really positive way, I can’t argue with the way we went about it today.

“I think the combination of intensity and aggression combined with calmness and clarity is something we’re all striving for.

“I think it’s fair to say we’ve seen one or the other in recent performances or we’ve seen periods where we’ve done both well.

“But today felt like the most complete performance so far.

“It’s unrealistic for us to expect to not have any pressure (against us), but we were very dominant for the majority of the game and the big chances in the game, we created all of them.”

Cardiff’s Erol Bulut: “With the pressing Swansea made against us, we had to keep the ball in midfield, but we didn’t ask for the ball in midfield, we were hiding too much in the midfield.

“If you are hiding, you cannot get out of the press. You have to ask for the ball, this was not there in the first half.

“That’s why in the second half I made the changes, bringing two players in and we managed it a little bit better and the rest who came in, I think it was quite good.

“We will not put our heads down and make big trouble of this because we lost.

“When we see the last weeks, how we worked and how we came back when we’ve been on the bottom, we will be back again.

“We still have eight games to play, we have the international break, we will rest well, train well and come back strong again.”

@sparkyjack84: Genuine question. Why the fuck are Cardiff fans so quiet every time they come down here. You’d think they’d be up for it but apart from the odd chant it’s deadly silent. Very odd!

@amyclement94: Cardiff boss crying, Cardiff fans crying, Jamie Paterson in a rubber ring.. normal service resumed. Incredible performance Swans 🦢

@SkittsMcGee: Still baffled by one Cardiff fan doing the swim away at us throughout the game

@tynj204: don’t think we heard the cardiff fans once after the first whistle 😂😂

@BrandonDavey20: AHAHAHA and you lot thought you was getting the double 🤣🤣 only one team in wales 🦢

@mjko9_: 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️

@CMorgan1993: @jamiepaterson12 the gift that keeps on giving 😂 @SwansOfficial ✍️ get him a new contract

@_eli_johnson0_: Would like to add, how shit were Cardiff fans. Not a sound out of them all game, other than when they celebrated getting corners like a goal.

@swansinfo: Any Cardiff fans out drowning their sorrows? Why not try the new ‘bluebird’ vodka that was released today, it’s made in Wales and bottled in Cardiff 😁 And if you don’t fancy that you could always try some Welsh wine… as nobody bottles it like Cardiff 😂

@philblanche: Cardiff complained to South Wales Police over Swansea players’ ‘Swim Away’ celebrations following derby in 2021. Be interesting if happens again after Lowe goal celebration.

@Dollyswans: Quote of the day… Cardiff fans would be class at a silent disco.. Didn’t hear anything from them at all

@dylanthomas91: Sky Sports: ” Cardiff City the capital of Wales, Swansea City the capital of Welsh Football ” 🦢
