Burnley 3-0 Cardiff City: Miserable season ends in heavy defeat for Bluebirds at Turf Moor

A woeful Cardiff City display rounded off what has been a truly dreadful season all round as the Bluebirds were battered 3-0 by Burnley at Turf Moor on the final day.

The gulf in class between a team who might have been relegated were it not for Reading's points deduction and a side that has romped to the Championship title was as glaring as it was painful for the travelling fans adorned in fancy dress.

Cardiff barely lay a glove on Burnley, who ran rings around the visitors as they banged in three goals and left more than that out there.

Josh Brownhill and Ashley Barnes - on his final Clarets appearance - handed the hosts a healthy half-time lead, before Josh Twine netted a lovely free-kick just after the break to make sure of the three points.

Lamouchi rang some changes, including re-introducing Ryan Allsop in goal and handing Rubin Colwill his first start under him.

But it was always going to be a tough ask for the Bluebirds, going up against a rampant Burnley side who have romped away with the league - and so it proved in the early exchanges.

Barnes, on his last game for the Clarets, was desperate to get on the scoresheet and essentially fired on sight of the goal.

But, in truth, it was Cardiff who probably had the best of the early chances, when Mahlon Romeo chopped inside into the penalty area to lay-off Rubin Colwill, but the Welshman didn't connect with his shot from 12 yards out well enough and the chance was spurned.

Chances were few and far between for Cardiff after that for a period - with Jaden Philogene looking a little off colour with a number of poorly-struck shots straight at Arijanet Muric in the Burnley goal.

The manner of Burnley's opener perfectly summed up Cardiff's season. Andy Rinomhota appeared
