The Cardiff City captain’s 85th minute strike gave them victory over Swansea City at the Liberty and moved them back above their rivals in the process.
And speaking after the game, Bellamy told BBC Sport “Probably in overall play I didn’t deserve it but things have always seemed to go that way for me.
“That’s twice their right back has played me out of the game – I would have liked to have played better but I’ll not remember my overall performance, just the goal and the win which was important.
“I thought we had some good chances – it was a typical derby.ย It will just be a matter of time before someone does the double over each other as both teams are on the up.
“We cannot lie the result is great – I have always wanted to play in this sort of derby and to get the goal and the win despite my overall playย – I’ll take it all day long.”
