5 minutes earlier, Cardiff were drawing and Fulham were winning - meaning a table of:

Wolves - 92
Fulham - 84
Cardiff - 81
Aston Villa - 79

Due to Fulham having better goal difference, we would have been dependent on Fulham's results to get the 2nd slot.

A few minutes later and voila, the future's in our hands

Wolves - 92
Cardiff - 83
Fulham - 82
Aston Villa - 79
