BY GLEN WILLIAMS How they rated

ALEX SMITHIES

It’s not an understatement to say that his world-class save to deny Levi Colwill changed the game. Incredible stop.

PERRY NG

Provided a decent attacking outlet for the most part, had a decent impact on Cardiff going forward.

MARK MCGUINNESS

An absolute howler for that Sinani goal. Misplaced his backpass and allowed the forward clean through. Will have nightmares about that. But he’s a good player, he’ll come back stronger.

ADEN FLINT (CAPT)

Pretty faultless, it has to be said. He’s been largely like that this season, though. Had one dicey moment which gifted Danny Ward a chance, though.

CURTIS NELSON

Shrugged off a little too easily for Sinani’s goal, too, although of course not at fault. Was better going forward than we’ve seen in a while.

RYAN GILES

The only one who really looked as though he could cause trouble. He got the better of Sorba Thomas on a number of occasions. Some excellent crosses, some very poor.

MARLON PACK

Passed the ball backwards far too often. Misplaced a couple of passes, too. An off day for him in the middle of the park.

JOE RALLS

Did well driving the ball forward and popped up in dangerous areas. Plonked the ball right on Moore’s head for the equaliser.

LEANDRO BACUNA

He will likely be the lightning rod for many but he was one of the better players in the middle. Added a bit of energy. Looks much better in there.

MARK HARRIS

Linked up well a few times to present chances to team-mates, but the ball bounced off him a few times, too. Didn’t have any clear-cut chances. Subbed on the hour.

STAR MAN KIEFFER MOORE

Another one who struggled to get the ball to stick to him. Smashed one shot miles wide but then scored two sweet, sweet headers to earn the win. Tremendous.
