Goals from Ollie Cooper and Michael Obafemi earned Swansea City their third successive South Wales derby triumph against 10-man Cardiff City.

That appeared to have put any Cardiff hope to bed, and the Swans' confidence went through the roof as a result. Kipre then produced a vital block to keep out Cooper's effort as Swansea threatened to open the floodgates in the final stages. The Cardiff man takes exception and there's a lively exchange of ideas before both are booked. A rare foray forwards from Cardiff saw O'Dowda pick out substitute Harris in the Swansea box, although the Welshman could only head over the crossbar under fierce pressure from Harry Darling. Nevertheless, Swansea led at the interval, although Cardiff will have felt there was still something to be gained from the contest despite Robinson's early shocker. However, the hosts were livid not to be awarded a penalty just after the half hour mark when Cedric Kipre cleared Matty Sorinola's cross with his fist in his own box. It was the Welshman's third goal in four matches and one that will undoubtedly have caught the eye of Wales boss Rob Page. Despite being a man down, Cardiff remained threatening on the counter attack. After a delay following an injury to goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, Swansea carved Cardiff open and should have gone ahead. Tom Sang started in place of the injured Perry Ng while Joe Ralls and Curtis Nelson came in for Romaine Sawyers and Jack Simpson respectively. Tidy pass. Martin stuck with the same side that started the 3-2 triumph over Reading on Tuesday night as Ryan Manning, Jamie Paterson, Joel Piroe and Joe Allen all missed out.
