Comments:

League position: 18th This result confirmed Cardiff City’s relegation to the League Championship. They became the first team to have played in at least two Premier League seasons and been relegated each time. They had now lost nine of their last 11 games in the Premier League (won two). The Bluebirds had now created a new club record of 24 defeats in a season in the top division; previously 23 defeats in 1956-57 in League Division One. Neil Warnock had now been relegated from the top division for the third time in his managerial career; previously with Notts County in 1991-92 (League Division One) and Sheffield United in 2006-07 (Premier League).
