3 things we clearly learnt about Cardiff City after their 1-0 victory over Derby

Cardiff City managed to get to winning ways in the Championship last night as they put a huge dent in Derby County’s hopes of achieving survival.

Both sides created chances to open the scoring in the first-half as Festy Ebosele fired over for the Rams whilst Tommy Doyle struck the crossbar with a long range effort.
