Campbell scores twice as Cardiff stuns Man City 3-2 in Premier League

CARDIFF, Wales – Frazier Campbell headed home two second-half corners Sunday as newly promoted Cardiff stunned Manchester City 3-2 for its first top-flight victory in over 50 years.

Campbell put Cardiff up 2-1 against the run of play when he nodded home from two yards out in the 79th minute and then added a second from another corner eight minutes later to secure a massive upset in the team’s first Premier League home game.

Alvaro Negredo pulled a goal back in injury time but City couldn’t find an equalizer despite a full six minutes added on.

Cardiff is playing top-flight football for the first time in 51 years after being promoted last season.
