CARDIFF CLAIMED A 2-1 win over Wolves in the Championship last night but it was the visitors who got off to a blistering start — scoring inside the first two minutes.
Irish full-back Matt Doherty — yet to be capped at senior international level despite being named in a couple of Martin O’Neill’s squads — received a short free-kick wide on the left and cut inside before driving the ball past Ben Amos.
The Cardiff goalkeeper should probably have done better but the strike was hit with serious power.
Matt Connolly pulled one back for the home side midway through the second half and Ireland international Anthony Pilkington then grabbed a winner for the Bluebirds with four minutes on the clock.

Way to go Troy. And sond plonker on here a while ago said the Dutch league is the worst it’s been in generations…. on the contrary it seems at its best in a while
@robert kelly: it’s more a case of the other leagues regressing rather the Dutch league on the up. Psv is decent. Feynoord had a good result against the worst AC Milan team I can ever remember. Ajax are pale shadow of the club they used to be. Indeed, they were very to go through having lost at home to Royal Union. Twente was knocked out by the mighty Bodo. Dutch league itself is a goal fest every week. Entertaining perhaps but not a great standard overall.
@Ray Ridge: yea it’s probably a bit of both Ray. The last i seen it looked like Twente were going thru I didn’t realise they collapsed until after I posted so my bad and yea Ajax are a shadow of themselves but PSV and Feyenoord progressing in the champions and AZ in the europa, but it was actually more in relation to someone saying Parrot was at best a championship level player but I think the Dutch legue deserves more respect and Troy is showing his talent on arguably a much bigger stage and fair play to him. Hope Alkmaar go deep in it and they’re doing well in the league as well
