League One leaders Cardiff remain four points clear at the top as they recorded a comprehensive 4-0 home win over Barnsley.<\/p>\n
The hosts may have been missing top scorer Yousef Salech but still found a way to make it a 12th win from 15 games at Cardiff City Stadium this season – and register a 10th clean in the league.<\/p>\n
Chelsea loanee Omari Kellyman filled the front running spot in Salech’s absence and he ended with an assist and a goal.<\/p>\n
Perry Ng gave the home side a dream start as he scored in the third minute but it took the Bluebirds until the stroke of half-time to add to their tally.<\/p>\n
In between those two goals Barnsley enjoyed some good pressure and Davis Keillor-Dunn forced a brilliant save from home goalkeeper Nathan Trott, with a curling effort from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n
Kellyman set Chris Willock free to allow him to cut inside and make it 2-0 just before the break to put Cardiff in firm control.<\/p>\n
Barnsley felt they should have had a penalty at the start of the second half when Corey O’Keeffe went down under a challenge from Willock.<\/p>\n
Cardiff then finished with a flourish as Kellyman notched a third in the 63rd minute and Willock completed his brace with 21 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"League One leaders Cardiff remain four points clear at the top as they recorded a comprehensive 4-0 home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-394377","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","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
