After wheeling away in celebration Bobby Reid, surrounded by his Cardiff City team-mates, held aloft a T-shirt displaying the face of Emiliano Sala as the football fraternity united to pay their respects to the striker, who disappeared in a light aircraft alongside pilot David Ibbotson over the Channel Islands almost a fortnight ago. Reid scored twice on his 26th birthday as Cardiff overcame Bournemouth in what was an extremely poignant evening in south Wales. But the locals say Sala, whose name was sang from start to finish here, is the best striker Cardiff never had. Their first victory of this year, as Cardiff said beforehand, was for Sala and Ibbotson.
