Kick-off: 3.00pm This was Cardiff City's first game since the body of recent record signing Emiliano Sala had been recovered from the wreckage of plane in the English Channel that had been carrying him from Nantes to Cardiff when it disappeared from radar on 21 January 2019. Jack Stephens equalised for Southampton in the first minute of added time at the end of the game before Kenneth Zohore scored Cardiff City's winner two minutes later.

Comments:

League position: 16th Cardiff City had now won consecutive games in the top division for the first time since April 1962. The Bluebirds had now scored three winning goals after 90 minutes of their games so far in this Premier League season; a joint-divisional high with Wolverhampton Wanderers. They had now failed to score in the first-half in 20 of their 26 games so far in this Premier League season.
