Head Coach Scott Parker was pleased to see his side react from Saturday’s defeat with a big three points on the road in Wales on Tuesday night.
Josh Brownhill opened the scoring on his 200th appearance for the Club, before Maxime Esteve hammered home his first goal in Claret & Blue shortly after.
Despite Cardiff pulling a goal back before the break, Parker praised his side’s resilience to ensure the points returned to Lancashire.
Speaking post-match at the Cardiff City Stadium, Parker said: “I'm pleased we've got three points. I think, firstly, this is a tough place to come and I think the table is probably a misrepresentation of where Cardiff are because they're a good side. I think we see that in elements tonight.
“I thought we started the game superbly for 35 minutes in the first half. We dominated, get our noses in front with two well-worked goals and deserved goals, but then we give them a little bit of hope with the goal.
“We were disappointed how we conceded that goal. Large parts of that goal were probably our own doing.”
The Burnley boss continued: “We started the second half really brightly and I think the only criticism I have probably is maybe the chances we get and the opportunities we create, we should maybe just put a little bit of daylight between the two sides with the scoreline.
“If we do that it doesn’t result in the end part of the game.
“But having been in this division for some time, you know with a one-goal swing in the game, you often see how the games look like.
“At the end you need resilience, you need to dig in, you need to ride it a little bit at that moment.
“They're loading the top line with five, six players hitting areas, crossing and the game puts you under pressure.
“I'm pleased with the way we see the game out in the end, with the resilience and overall I'm pleased with the three points.”
