Cardiff manager Neil Harris said:
"For the players I am delighted, because they have come close to winning away from home previously and the longer it goes on the more it builds up in your mind, I am sure.
"But our organisation and defending was outstanding. We blocked shots and put bodies on the line.
"When you have done that, you need moments of quality. Nathaniel provided that moment of class for us with his goal.
"I just asked the boys for discipline, for structure and to work for each other - at the moment we look like a proper unit."
