Birthday boy Bruno has revealed he was going for goal when he scored for Albion last night.

But the right-back – who turns 34 today – admitted he should also be celebrating a win this morning.

The Spanish raider put Albion ahead with a volley which floated over outstanding Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall.

But the Bluebirds levelled a minute later and held on for a point as Marshall shone.

Bruno conceded the lob over the Scotland international was not quite what he intended.

He said: “It was a little bit lucky. It was meant to be a shot but not like that.

“No one was there for us in the middle so I tried to put it in the net but not quite how it turned out.

“But the important thing is it was a goal and it helped the team.”

He admitted: “We’re frustrated. We did everything to win the match. We had lots of chances.

“I’ll enjoy today. We’ve got family over and we will have a good day. But it’s a shame we didn’t get the three points.”

Gordon Greer (Scotland) and Paddy McCourt, who has been recalled by Northern Ireland, were also hoping to complete a perfect day after international call-ups were confirmed yesterday.

McCourt said: “We’ve drawn another game but we’re not disappointed with the performance.”
