Cardiff Blow Three Goal Lead

Darren Purse scored an 88th minute own goalCardiff City did their level best to throw away their position at the top of the Championship by surrendering a three goal lead and scoring two own goals in the processĀ at Plymouth Argyle last night.

A goal from Steve Thompson and two from Michael Chopra saw City cruising after 49 minutes but then the Bluebirds pressed the self destruct button.

An own goal from Kevin McNaughton after 69 minutes gave the Pilgrims hope and veteran Barry Hayles reduced the deficit further five minutes later.

With two minutes left, captain Darren Purse snatched a draw from the jaws of victory by putting into his own net to confirm a miserable evening.

Well done, lads.
