Cardiff City 0-4 Swansea City: Cabango, Wolf and Obafemi brace earn visitors historic South Wales derby double

Swansea City created history as they claimed a first ever South Wales derby double courtesy of an emphatic 4-0 win over Cardiff City.

Michael Obafemi scored his eighth goal of the season from close range early on before Ben Cabango doubled his side's advantage in the second-half at Cardiff City Stadium. Hannes Wolf then headed home his first goal for the club before Obafemi struck his second of the afternoon to seal a resounding victory for Russell Martin's men who moved five points clear of the Bluebirds in the Championship table.

The Bluebirds were unchanged from their 2-1 win over Stoke City before the international break while the Swans made three changes to the side that started their 0-0 draw with Birmingham City as Flynn Downes, Joel Latibeaudiere and Jamie Paterson were all drafted in.

Swansea almost made a dream start as Joel Piroe's ball over the top found Obafemi unmarked inside the Cardiff box, although the striker was unable to prod the ball goalwards with just 24 seconds on the clock. It was a sign of things to come, and the forward struck gold in the sixth minute as he fed Paterson who then squared it back into the box for Obafemi to tap home his eighth goal of the campaign.

The away end erupted, and Martin will no doubt have been pleased with the control his side showed from the outset. Cardiff's first real opening fell to Jordan Hugill whose shot was blocked after Cody Drameh sent a teasing cross into the Swansea box.

But, in truth, Swansea looked remarkably comfortable as Cardiff had Ryan Wintle to thank for hurling himself in front of Wolf's shot on 18 minutes. The impressive Drameh had a shot blocked soon after, although the Bluebirds were struggling to stop Swansea's passing rhythm.
