Swansea City made it four derby wins in a row under Russell Martin on Saturday at the Cardiff City Stadium. With the Swans now racking up twelve goals to Cardiff’s two over those games ( three goals a game ) we have had a look at how the mainstream and local media have reported this latest win.

Sky Sports reported both managers responses to the game

Swansea's Russell Martin
"Firstly I thought we played really well, coming away from home, we had the best moments. "I'm amazingly grateful to the players, and the supporters. I'd rather not have that every week for the heart-rate, but the emotion at the end was incredible. You saw how together everyone is. Mike Eames (the kit-man) gave the team talk today. People like him play such an important role."

Cardiff's Sabri Lamouchi
"I can complain about the scenario. When you start the game this way and when you finish the game this way, you can be upset, disappointed, complain. We paid the price for some mistakes in the beginning, one or two goals, easy. We can't concede this goal in the last minute, it was just a cruel scenario. "Five goals in a derby is a lot of goals. Unfortunately, it was not in our favour. We came back into the game with a fantastic goal from Jaden before the break. That gave us a chance to come back into the game with a different mentality and a different quality. We pressed them a little bit better. Kaba scored another goal and I was thinking it was an important goal, but we finished… as you know."

The Tenby Observer on Liam Cullen
Cullen who had his first call up for Wales’ senior squad last month for the country’s double-header against Croatia and Latvia in the European Championships qualifiers, said after the win on Saturday that he was ‘absolutely buzzing “It’s best day I’ve had in football by a mile,” remarked the 23 year-old striker after scoring his seventh league goal of the season. I said before the game that if I score and we win, it will be the best day of my life. We know how much it means to fans, we know how much it means to the staff, and players like myself who are lifelong fans. I think that was the main talking point before the game. The win means so much to everyone, you could see the fans at the end, and how much it means to them. So to win in that manner, in the last minute, it’s amazing; and hopefully we can keep giving the fans them celebrations,” said the former Greenhill School, Tenby pupil.

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. The Bluebirds were set to halt their run of misery in this fixture after fighting back from 2-0 down. But Ben Cabango's 99th-minute goal gave Swansea a fourth straight derby win. "From no-one doing two in a row to then doing four is an incredible feat for the players," said Swansea boss Martin. I am really proud of them because they have written themselves in the history books." 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.

Martin's team have now delivered a double double, having triumphed 2-0 at the Swansea.com Stadium last October.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. "It's hard for me," said Cardiff boss Sabri Lamouchi.

"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. The atmosphere in the locker room is absolutely different than the opponent's locker room." 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. Cabango's winner came nine minutes into added time despite the fourth official's board showing only five.

Sory Kaba applauds Cardiff's fans at full-time, but this was another agonising derby day for the Bluebirds.

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. We can just accept the wrong decision against us in this moment. Shut up, head up and work. 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."

Martin said Swansea's triumph was especially satisfying given the difficult run they endured before beating Bristol City prior to the international break. 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. 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.

"We have stuck to what we want to be, the players have been incredible."

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. "We spoke about it before the game, little Morgan who was our mascot today," Martin added. "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. So we spoke about trying to give his family a special day and I'm so grateful we could do that."
