Cardiff's struggles in front of goal since their return to the top flight are well documented, but they finally found the net on Sunday as midfielder Victor Camarasa drew them level against Arsenal at Cardiff City Stadium.

It looked like being another one of those days for the Welsh outfit as Shkodran Mustafi headed Arsenal ahead, but Neil Warnock's side struck right on the stroke of half time to level things.

As they so often do, Arsenal contributed to their own downfall, with Granit Xhaka giving the ball away in midfield and Cardiff ruthlessly countering at pace.

The ball was worked out to Joe Bennett on the left and his cross to the far post was brought down by Camarasa, before he thundered an effort into the roof of the net.

The goal was Cardiff's first in 415 minutes of play (almost seven hours of football), with the 'Bluebirds' last finding the net against Hull in April.
