Wigan Athletic v Cardiff City live - Latest updates (WalesOnline)

The Bluebirds travel up to the DW Stadium for this weekend's instalment of Championship action.

The first chance of the second half fell to Cardiff thanks to a lovely ball over the top from Perry Ng. Ng lifts a ball over the top and O'Dowda is through. It looked a glaring opportunity, but Harris flashed his chance across the face of goal and wide of the mark, prompting anger from Robinson, who was unmarked and would have had just a tap-in to double the lead if his strike partner had seen him in the middle of the box. He cuts inside and smacks one at goal, but Amos is strong and parries wide. But the official on the far side had his flag raised to deny Wintle his first Bluebirds goal. The left-back danced past three players before poking a ball through to O'Dowda. Corner is cleared but Wintle hooks a pass out to Ralls. Ralls plays a reverse pass to Ng, whose blasted low cross is deflected over. And the team got off to a flying start. While Niels Nkounkou divides opinion, there is no doubting the left-back's ability with the ball at his feet and it was that quality which led to Robinson's goal. Robinson flicked a ball over the top and into Harris' path before the Welshman headed the ball to get it under his control. That goal sparked the hosts back into life, though, and they enjoyed the better chances from then onwards.

Match Report | Wigan Athletic 1-3 Cardiff City | Cardiff (Cardiff City)

Goals from Callum Robinson, Sheyi Ojo and Ryan Wintle gave City a 3-1 victory over Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.

A minute later, City cut through once again on the break, with Ryan Wintle eventually tapping home from Mark Harris' low ball. Up next for City is a home clash with Coventry City next Saturday, October 15th. Unfortunately, the keeper did well to get down and deny the substitute a clear strike on goal. Nkounkou broke forward once again, squaring to O'Dowda, who fed Ojo with a low ball. A fine forward drive from Niels Nkounkou allowed the loanee to feed Robinson, who applied a calm finish past former City stopper, Ben Amos. However, the Republic of Ireland international's strike was parried away by the Latics stopper.

Cardiff City record impressive win at Wigan (Nation.Cymru)

Cardiff continued their recent resurgence in the Sky Bet Championship by recording a 3-1 victory over Wigan at the DW Stadium.

And Cardiff should have added a fourth goal right at the death, only for Ojo to race clean through and hit the outside of the post. Only a brilliant save from former Cardiff goalkeeper Amos denied Robinson his second, before the Wigan goalkeeper blotted his copybook by dropping a routine free-kick from the right. Wigan were almost in when Magennis crossed from the left, but Charlie Wyke could not get a touch and it flew through the box.

Championship game played with 'different sized goals' (Telegraph.co.uk)

Mark Hudson, the City manager, said his staff pointed the discrepancy out to the referee who told him it would take too long to check.

Phil Jagielka fired Stoke back in front before Liam Delap’s first goal for the club. It means the game was played with two different sized goals. Cardiff won 3-1 and their third goal, scored by Ryan Wintle, hit the underside of the taller crossbar before going in.
