Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that the Premier League's relegation battle has become "tighter" following today's results.

The Norwegian's Cardiff City side dropped to the bottom of the table following their 4-2 defeat to Manchester City this afternoon.

"We did feel that after about 60 minutes we were in the game the crowd was maybe turning a little against them and you start wondering if we could get something from the game, but obviously they have quality players who scored their extra two goals," the manager told BBC Sport.

"They have been dominant, our gameplan was to start on the front foot, be aggressive but we played against a very good team. When you are in the run of form like they are, they just go into the next game expecting to win, so good luck to them.

"We can stay up. No doubt about that. The league got tighter today, from bottom to 10th it is five points. We will look to improve. Parts of all the performances have been very good. For half an hour we did very well today but for two or three minutes they blitzed us. You have to enjoy life, these kind of performances won't make me look older because at times we looked like a proper team."

Cardiff are without a win in their last six games in the top flight.
