Cardiff City 2-1 Stoke City: Hugill earns Cardiff deserved win

Cardiff City continued their recent improvement with a 2-1 victory that extended Stoke's winless run.

Stoke took the lead with their first opportunity as Lewis Baker curled the ball beyond Alex Smith from distance.

The hosts equalised before the break when Tommy Doyle showed composure to slide the ball under Jack Bonham.

Cardiff scored the decisive third goal when Jordan Hugill curled home from outside the penalty area after Taylor Harwood-Bellis lost possession.

The victory sees Cardiff move level on points with Stoke as they stay in 17th, a place below the Potters and a point below rivals Swansea, who are 15th.
