Cardiff City 1-3 Hull City: Fabio Carvalho double helps end Hull's winless run

Fabio Carvalho scored twice as Hull City beat Cardiff City to earn a first win in seven games and keep alive their slim hopes of making the Championship play-offs.

Liverpool loanee Carvalho put the visitors in front with a sweetly struck volley before playing a one-two with Ozan Tufan and finishing neatly to double their lead shortly before half-time.

Karlan Grant pulled a goal back for Cardiff with a low finish after the break, only for former Bluebirds winger Jaden Philogene to break clear and swiftly restore Hull's two-goal lead.

Victory lifts Hull up to ninth in the Championship table, six points behind sixth-place Norwich City with a game in hand.
