Norwich 2-0 Cardiff: Emiliano Buendia and Todd Cantwell give Championship leaders victory

Championship leaders Norwich City recorded a fifth successive win as they outplayed Cardiff City at Carrow Road.

Emiliano Buendia fired the hosts in front with a crisp, low strike from 20 yards in the first half.

Michael McGovern then denied Cardiff captain Sean Morrison an equaliser with a spectacular one-handed save.

Norwich missed a hatful of chances before Todd Cantwell eventually scored their second with a fiercely hit effort from the edge of the penalty area.

Victory takes Daniel Farke's side six points clear at the top the Championship table, at least until second-placed Bournemouth visit Luton Town at 15:00 GMT.
