Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: 'Cardiff City need a miracle to stay up'

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that it will be difficult for the Bluebirds to stay up after losing 3-0 against Crystal Palace in today's Premier League clash at the Cardiff City Stadium.

A brace by Jason Puncheon and a strike from ex-Bluebird Joe Ledley condemned the beleaguered Welsh outfit to a third defeat in four games and pushed them deeper into the relegation zone.

Solskjaer told reporters after the game: "We were looking forward to this game and then we end up with a disappointing result and game like this.

"It is going to be difficult to stay up but we have got to be full of fight. It has been a tough season for everyone at the club and I think it showed towards the end.

"We have got to work hard and we need to produce a miracle to stay up now."

The Bluebirds, second from bottom, are six points from safety, while Crystal Palace have moved up to 14th place.
