Gary Bowyer hailed the response of his Burton players after they bounced back from a 4-0 defeat at home to Plymouth by claiming a 1-0 win at Cardiff.
Charlie Webster scored the only goal of the game in the 82nd minute, with goalkeeper Brad Collins making a string of saves to help the struggling Brewers to a much-needed victory.
Brewers boss Bowyer said: “The credit all goes to the players because Saturday wasn’t the standard, it wasn’t what we’re about and we knew we were coming to a very, very difficult place, they’ve got a great manager, the way they are coached, the way that they play.
“We knew we were up against it, we knew we wouldn’t have a lot of the ball, but we asked them to show some fight and represent the club in a better manner than we did on Saturday and it was incredible.
“I think the supporters that made their way down today, it’s incredible that…(we’ve) sent them home with those scenes and ever since I arrived at the club that’s what it’s been about, creating memories.
“To come here and keep a clean sheet, I’m delighted for Brad Collins and all of the defenders. We had to make late changes again and they way they’ve gone about it is unbelievable.
“I’m pleased for Charlie again as well.”
