What do you know?! Cardiff go up the other end and score. They get around the left side, the ball is played across to Ward and he turns the ball home.

15:37Tom Moore

That is a horrible, horrible miss. Great work from Ollie Watkins to win the ball. He rounds Etheridge and passes to Maupay. The Frenchman takes a touch and with defenders on the line, he fires wide. Before jeering, the home fans were open mouthed in shock.
