Liverpool loanee struck the winner for Cardiff.
As Liverpool sauntered into the Champions League quarter-finals, one of their loan players was enjoying a big evening.
Serbian midfielder Marko Grujic scored his first goal for loan side Cardiff City last night in a 2-1 win over Barnsley.
Grujic scored an impressive goal early in the second half to put the Bluebirds two up, and the goal proved to be the winner.
The Liverpool talent is on his first loan spell away from the Reds and this was a big moment for him.
He has not found the transition to Championship football easy but he has become a regular starter for Neil Warnock’s side.
Shortly after his goal he picked up a knock and was substituted, although it did not seem serious.
This was the 21-year-old’s seventh game for Cardiff and the goal will do his confidence good.
He is learning much more than playing in Liverpool’s under-23 team and his performances are counting for something, with Cardiff maintaining their grip on second place as they bid to earn automatic promotion.
