Cardiff City's Championship survival hopes took a big step forward thanks to a stunning comeback win against Watford at Vicarage Road.

Cardiff fans feared it might be a night to forget after their sluggish start and Ismaila Sarr's opening goal. But three first-half goals in 10 minutes from Kion Etete, Cedric Kipre and a goal-of-the-season contender from Sory Kaba saw Cardiff rocket into the lead and never look back.

It was a gritty, backs-to-the-wall ending for the Bluebirds, as the weathered the late storm from the Hornets, but they were a credit to the club in the end and clung on for three precious points at the most crucial time of the season.

A big blow for Cardiff ahead of the match was that their most creative player, Jaden Philogene, lost his race to be fit for the trip to Vicarage Road.
