Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he is pleased with his team's 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

The Bluebirds took the lead through Kenwyne Jones at Ewood Park on Friday before Tom Cairney salvaged a point for the hosts.

"We defended our goal well," Solskjaer is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "I was pleased with the performance and the attitude of the lads, particularly defensively.

"We have come away against a good team and dug out a good result. I'm very happy with a point against one of the favourites."

Cardiff play their next match on Tuesday when they travel to Coventry City in the first round of the League Cup.
