Mighty Meite an instant hit

CARDIFF manager Omer Riza hailed the professionalism of his match-winner Yakou Meite after the Ivory Coast forward struck with his first touch.

- 

Meite was a 72nd-minute substitute and by the 73rd minute he had handed the Bluebirds a crucial lead, heading in a superb cross from fellow substitute Will Alves to notch his second and most important strike of the campaign.

Yousef Salech had nodded Cardiff into an early lead, cancelled out by Yuki Ohashi’s near-post header.

Riza praised his striker's effort, particularly as he is currently fasting.
