Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay is pleased with his side's clinical finishing as they see off Barnsley 2-1 at Oakwell.

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has praised his side's clinical finishing as they saw off Barnsley 2-1 at Oakwell on Saturday.

Ben Nugent and Aron Gunnarsson were on target for the Bluebirds to send them to the top of the Championship table.

"It was just good to have another three points, coming to a tough ground," Mackay told Sky Sports News.

"We were playing against a team that has a fresh influx of players through the week, so we always knew it was going to be difficult. I am delighted to come away from here having been clinical and getting the three points."

Saturday's victory has seen Cardiff open up a one-point gap on second-placed Crystal Palace in the table.
