Swansea celebrate a victory which means they have lost only one of the last nine south Wales derbies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Russell Martin said Swansea City had achieved “an incredible feat” after they made more south Wales derby history with a pulsating 3-2 to win at Cardiff City.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bluebirds were set to halt their run of misery in this fixture after fighting back from 2-0 down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But Ben Cabango’s 99th-minute goal <\/span>gave Swansea a fourth straight derby win.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“From no-one doing two in a row to then doing four is an incredible feat for the players,” said Swansea boss Martin.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am really proud of them because they have written themselves in the history books.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither club had managed a league double in the south Wales derby until last season, when Swansea won 3-0 at home and 4-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin’s team have now delivered a double double, having triumphed 2-0 at the Swansea.com Stadium last October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardiff looked to have earned what might have been a crucial point in their fight to avoid relegation after Sory Kaba’s 84th-minute header made it 2-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s hard for me,” said Cardiff boss Sabri Lamouchi.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But trust me, it’s hard for the players. They tried to find the right words to keep their heads up, but it’s not easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The atmosphere in the locker room is absolutely different than the opponent’s locker room.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Defeat means Cardiff are only outside the Championship relegation zone on goal difference with eight games remaining this season, the first of which comes at 23rd-place Blackpool next Friday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cabango’s winner came nine minutes into added time despite the fourth official’s board showing only five.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked whether he was surprised the game was still going on, Lamouchi added: “Yes but what can I say? We spoke with the referee, we ask him, he played more than five minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We can just accept the wrong decision against us in this moment. Shut up, head up and work. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We need to focus on that. The way we played, the way we fight, the way we came back in the game is very positive.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Martin said Swansea’s triumph was especially satisfying given the difficult run they endured before beating Bristol City prior to the international break.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I said that to the players before the game today, we are going to win and win our way, and that will be the best feeling,” he added. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We didn’t come here and dog it out and fight. We didn’t do that against Bristol City when we were in a tough period and were getting loads of criticism from all angles.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have stuck to what we want to be, the players have been incredible.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin also paid tribute to Morgan Fidler, a three-year-old Swansea fan who is undergoing treatment for cancer and was carried onto the Cardiff City Stadium pitch before kick-off by captain Matt Grimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We spoke about it before the game, little Morgan who was our mascot today,” Martin added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We sent him a video yesterday. What he’s been through already in his early life at three years old is so difficult and puts things in perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

“So we spoke about trying to give his family a special day and I’m so grateful we could do that.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
