The wait goes on for Sabri Lamouchi to oversee his first Cardiff City victory as Middlesbrough inflicted a 3-1 win over the Bluebirds.
Boro were slick and clinical in the first half. Cardiff were desperate and helpless in the second. Sory Kaba scored on his home debut, but only after Marcus Forss had handed the visitors a lead earlier in the first half.
Cameron Archer's well-taken goal just before the break put Boro well in the driving seat. Cardiff did well to show initiative in the second half, but Boro always looked threatening on the break and that proved to be the case when Riley McGree coolly slotted home the third in injury time.
That's 14 games in all competitions - 12 in the league - without a win and not a single point in the three games in which Lamouchi has been in charge.
