Fraizer Campbell scored two late goals as Cardiff marked their first Premier League home game with a famous victory over Manchester City.

Edin Dzeko appeared to have put Manuel Pellegrini's
side on course for the three points when his superb
strike gave City the lead early in the second half. But Cardiff hit back when Aron Gunnarsson tucked
home from close range just before the hour, before
Campbell twice headed home from corners to spark
scenes of delirium at Cardiff City Stadium. Alvaro Negredo got his first goal for City in stoppage
time, but it was too little, too late. Few had given last season's Championship winners
any hope of getting a result after City had opened
their campaign so impressively against Newcastle. But Malky Mackay's men worked tirelessly to deny
their big-spending visitors the space to work their
magic and they ended the game as deserving
winners. Prior to kick-off a section of the Welsh club's fans had
walked through the city to express opposition to the
changing of the club's kit from blue to red but, come
the final whistle, fans wearing both colours joined in
euphoric celebrations. For Pellegrini, there was a reminder that his will not
be an easy task, and this poor display means they
remain without a win from three Premier League
visits to south Wales. Indeed, they never allowed their visitors to settle,
with Joleon Lescott and Javi Garcia showing
particular discomfort against Campbell's pace. Cardiff could have led after just 30 seconds. David
Silva and Gael Clichy stood off Craig Bellamy and
Lescott missed the Welshman's ball into the box. It eventually fell to Campbell, who went down as
Fernandinho closed in, but the appeals were waved
away by Lee Probert. Lescott was all at see again a few minutes later. The
defender was robbed off possession by Gary Medel
and then needlessly fouled Kim Bo-kyung to give
Peter Whittingham a free-kick which he fired just
wide. Whittingham then picked out Steven Caulker from a
set-piece to force Joe Hart into a save, although the
flag was up for offside. Cardiff's tigerish snapping and harrying meant City
could not find their stride and it took 20 minutes for
them to unlock the home defence, but Andrew Taylor
was on hand to clear from Silva's astute ball across
the six-yard box. Dzeko should have given them the lead just before
the half hour but failed to control Yaya Toure's
excellent threaded pass. David Marshall held an ambitious effort from Silva,
before Ben Turner blocked brilliantly as Toure fired at
goal as City steadily assumed control. But Pellegrini's men should have trailed at the
interval. Campbell escaped the attentions of Garcia and Lescott
far too easily from Gunnarsson's lofted pass, but
could not get a shot away cleanly, and seconds later
Garcia's woeful header forced Hart to intervene. Cardiff looked as though they would rue those
missed opportunities when City took the lead just six
minutes into the second half. Toure found Aguero and the Argentinian's lovely lay-
off set-up Dzeko to blast a strike beyond Marshall's
despairing dive. Cardiff refused to crumble and hit back eight minutes
later. Clichy gave Kim far too much room on the right
of the area and, although Hart saved from Campbell,
he could do little to prevent Gunnarsson firing home
the rebound. City pressed and pressed in an effort to restore their
advantage but were met by stern resistance as Silva
was crowded out before firing over, and Caulker
blocked an Aguero strike. The rearguard effort gained its reward with 11
minutes to go, Whittingham swung over a pinpoint
corner and Campbell snuck away from Pablo Zabaleta
at the far post to nod in. The former Manchester United and Sunderland striker
then completed the job with five minutes to go as he
again escaped Zabaleta to find the net and write his
name into Cardiff history. Negredo pulled one back but it was not enough.
