Cardiff went back to the top of League One after a convincing 3-0 victory at home to Mansfield.<\/p>\n
Will Fish headed the Bluebirds in front after 34 minutes of a first half dominated by the home side.<\/p>\n
Yousef Salech, who on another day might have had a hat-trick, doubled Cardiff’s lead in the 70th minute, before Cian Ashford added a third three minutes from time.<\/p>\n
Mansfield goalkeeper Liam Roberts produced a superb save at full stretch in the 33rd minute to tip over David Turnbull’s superb bending 30-yard effort that looked destined for the top corner.<\/p>\n
However, Roberts was powerless to prevent Fish glancing home at the near post from the resulting corner a minute later.<\/p>\n
Home goalkeeper Nathan Trott denied Deji Oshilaja as the visitors improved after the break, but it was game over when Salech converted Ronan Kpakio’s cross from the right.<\/p>\n
Salech then spurned a golden chance moments later before he and Dylan Lawlor were denied by fine stops from Roberts.<\/p>\n
Ashford tapped home a third on the rebound after his initial shot was saved by Roberts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardiff went back to the top of League One after a convincing 3-0 victory at home to Mansfield.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-602864","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115637370549385243","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
