Swansea City 1 - 1 Cardiff City Callum Robinson came off the bench to rescue a point for Cardiff City with a late equaliser against arch-rivals Swansea City, securing their first point of the season in the South Wales derby. Liam Cullen had ignited the already charged atmosphere by putting the Swans ahead after just 10 minutes, capitalising on a rebound after Ronald’s volley was parried by Ethan Horvath. Cardiff seemed destined for a sixth derby defeat in seven matches after a lacklustre first-half performance, but manager Erol Bulut's substitutions sparked a significant improvement, leading to Robinson’s well-crafted equaliser. The 79th-minute goal shifted the mood inside the Swansea.com Stadium. Although the Bluebirds couldn’t find a winner, this draw will have felt like a small victory after their tough start to the season, having lost their first two games with a combined score of 7-0. This was the first draw between the two teams since 2020 and a relatively subdued affai

All of a sudden it doesn’t look cohesive and sometimes you get opened up. “When does the pressure get too much for me? I keep doing the job and trying to get results. I will continue until anybody tells me different. All I have had is support. I think they – more than anybody – want me to be a success. Until anybody tells me different, I will be preparing for the Fulham game on Wednesday.” The winning Swansea manager, Russell Martin, also gave h

One Blackpool fan commented: "Looks like Swansea had a good shout for one penalty the other a bit soft. VAR in the championship would have given it.  Saying that it would have probably meant another five points for us from the Stoke and QPR games so win some lose some and today fir a change we got away with it. What I do like is this new Blackpool team never give up. Well done Neil!" All the reaction After the match, Swansea head coach Russell Martin told the media: "The best thing about the first half was the goal.
