Bournemouth strengthened their grip on the Championship summit with a dominant victory at home to ten-man Cardiff.
Ryan Christie, Dominic Solanke and Jefferson Lerma struck to secure a second-consecutive triumph - after a six-game winless run - and move the Cherries four points clear having played two matches more than second-placed Fulham.
In contrast, Cardiff - playing their first game in 19 days following COVID-enforced postponements - are 20th and remain three points above the drop zone.
Their problems were compounded by Leandro Bacuna's first-half red card and an injury to star striker Kieffer Moore.
