Birthday boy Nigel Pearson believes that was Bristol City at their best this afternoon after maintaining an intensity to their play and pressing Cardiff high up the pitch.
Celebrating turning 59, the Robins manager watched his side dominate in all areas of the field as they made it back-to-back victories and clean sheets to lift City up to seventh in the Championship.
City's first half pressure was rewarded four minutes before the interval when Tommy Conway superbly steered home Nahki Wells' cross to make it four goals in his last three matches.
