Connor Wickham insists he 'had a point to prove' to Cardiff City fans after 'having a stinker' following Swansea City defeat

Connor Wickham hopes Cardiff City fans have forgiven him for the video which appeared to show him inhaling laughing gas after losing to Swansea City following his goal and assists in the win over Blackpool on Friday.

Wickham's name was in the headlines this past week after the video was circulated on social media in the hours after Cardiff's last-gasp defeat to bitter rivals Swansea last Saturday, with Wickham later celebrating his 30th birthday.

Manager Sabri Lamouchi branded the video of him appearing to inhale nitrous oxide, which you can read more about here, "stupid" before placing him in the starting lineup for the relegation six-pointer against the Seasiders on Saturday. Wickham repaid the manager's faith in the best way possible by scoring the opener before setting up the following two goals as City blew the Tangerines away in a first-half blitz.
