Kept Eom Jisung really quiet. Another really solid game from the right back and it's testament to him that he's keeping Perry Ng out of the side.

Dimitrios Goutas 8

Formed one half a solid defensive partnership with Daland. Good in the air at both ends, evidenced by his bullet header to score City's third.

Jesper Daland 8

Like above, really, another assured outing from the centre-back and didn't give the attackers much to play with.

Callum O'Dowda 6

Put one huge challenge in early on and looked his lively self before going off injured after 24 minutes. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.

Callum Chambers 9

A monster performance once again in midfield. He was everywhere. The perfect derby performance.

Joe Ralls 8

Needed his needle in the middle of the park - was a shrewd selection by Omer Riza. Marshalled his troops expertly.

Alex Robertson 7

Dragged one shot wide of the mark in the first half and was a key cog when Cardiff were in the red zone.

Cian Ashford 7

Really sharp and looked up for the occasion. Found space and had some joy up against Josh Tymon.

Callum Robinson 9 (star man)

What a welcome return! After his three-match absence he proved his importance by becoming the derby hero. Two wonderfully taken goals.
