Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy: "I'm delighted. I'm going to put a coat-hanger in my mouth upside down to keep the smile on my face all week! I'm absolutely thrilled for the lads as they've had to put a real shift in. It was a stoic performance.
"We knew they were going to play so we had to have a game plan. Pride and the bragging rights were at stake. Sean [Morrison] has been a fabulous defender for this team for years and for me he's been a real leader, driving people on.
"We've got a real weapon with the long throw and powerful players who can cause problems in the box. It's turned out to be the winner and it's important that goals come from everywhere. It was important not to be beaten going into two weeks off, so to go into the break with a win is better still to keep the momentum going. The fans will be delighted."
Swansea boss Steve Cooper: "We conceded a really soft goal from the throw-in, which we knew was coming. It was a cruel game really as we did everything but score. We were the superior team and created lots of chances, but we couldn't score and lost the game.
"That's the stat you don't want to be on the wrong end of. It's difficult to take, and the fashion of the loss as well. If you're going to lose a derby, you'd rather get well beaten maybe.
"For it to happen like it did is doubly difficult but we've got to stick together and be positive. We're still in a good league position."
City skipper Sean Morrison: "We owed the fans this one. The last three derbies we've been way off it - we've lost two, drew one. We know how much this means for the fans, so this was for all those who couldn't be here today. It was a lot of pressure to carry. We spoke about it during the week and before the game [no side have done a league double in the derby], and we don't want to be on the wrong side of history. "We weren't the best side with the ball, but we showed great fight, character and determination to come away with a 1-0 win. We're extremely happy."
