CHAMPIONSHIP

THREE HEADERS AND A WALL CALLED SÁ

Wolves are two up inside a quarter of an hour, José Sá makes nine saves, and Cardiff's wait for an away win goes on

By Our Special Correspondent

Cesar Peixoto had heard the Molineux moans even after beating Watford last weekend. In front of 29,852 he could not have asked for a better way to quieten them: two goals inside a quarter of an hour, a third before the hour, and José Sá to make sure Cardiff never got back into it.

Cardiff arrived in form, with ten points from their last five games, and finished with 61 per cent of the ball, 13 shots, nine shots on target and one off the woodwork. They still went home beaten 3-0, and still without an away league win this season.

Scorers Wolves: López 10, Armstrong 15, Krejčí 58

The marks

Wolves climb to third on 24 points, two behind the automatic places, with ten points from their last twelve. Cardiff's revival, ten points from their previous five, stalls on the road again: they still have no away league win this season, and only Watford and Preston have a worse away record.

José Sá Nine saves. Cardiff had 61 per cent of the ball and nine shots on target, and he stopped every one of them
Fer López Back in the side and headed the opener, then helped make the second. Six league goals for the season
Adam Armstrong Unmarked for the second header, his second goal in two games
Kieran Trippier His corner made the third for Krejčí, and his deliveries kept coming all afternoon
Ladislav Krejčí Met Trippier's corner from close range to put the game away
Joel Colwill Cardiff's liveliest player and kept testing Sá, but missed the rebound from a yard out
