"From the first minute until the end, we could lead, we had chances. All the players were concentrated.

"When you play well and concede, it's not good, but how my players started, they finished the game.

"Life is like this, you have to believe something. We believed today we were going to win this game and we did it. Subs came in with a lucky hand today."

"I am really glad for him," Bulut said. "Four months, an injury, he came back and then he got injured again and has to prepare.

"His quality, we were never thinking negatively. He is really pushing hard until the end. I am really glad that he scored the second, winning goal.

"If you have quality around you, you have quality, really good players, football is like this with top teams."

Bulut has previously spoken about his side's efforts to sign Moore in the January window, with his players even trying to recruit the Welsh international.

And the Cardiff boss said he talked to Moore after the dramatic clash.

"I have already shook his hand," Bulut said. "It was a good goal - but it was not enough today!"
