Norwich caretaker manager Jack Wilshere told BBC Radio Norfolk:
"I really did enjoy it. It's clear where we need to improve. I thought we played some good football and the players did exactly what we asked them to do.
"They really started the game well and we tried to focus on putting them under pressure, putting the ball in the box, and we did and got our reward for that.
"We then have to manage that better, where we use the crowd, use momentum. It can be hard against 10 men, trying to force it and not managing transitions, but that's been an issue all year. But I'm really happy."
Cardiff caretaker manager Aaron Ramsey told BBC Radio Wales:
"I was really happy with the way we started. We started on the front foot, we caused them a few problems and had a few chances, should have been one or two up.
"These things happen then, the sending-off and you find yourself 2-0 down so it's about sorting that out and as soon as we made those tweaks I felt we were much more in control.
"I can't fault the boys' effort. For them to take on all the information we gave them, that speaks volumes. That's the culture and those are the habits we need if we're going to be a serious team and bounce back."
