Cardiff City player ratings as defender fantastic and striker's form continues but clumsy moment costs points
Jak Alnwick 6
Barely had anything to do for the most part, but might have done better with the equaliser if he had stayed on his feet for longer. Perhaps that's nit-picking.
Perry Ng 9 (star man)

Showed his class with a top outing at right centre-half. Really helped Goutas out alongside him and was fantastic when he had to compensate for the Greek's dismissal. Big performance.
Dimitrios Goutas 5
Did tremendously well early on, given he had two full-backs alongside him. Had a real battle with Mustapha Bundu and won it - but lost it against Bali Mumba after the break. Sent off after bundling Mumba over while clean through on goal. So clumsy.
Joel Bagan 7
Continued his solid form at the heart of the back line. Nothing major to write home about but stuck to his task well. Was forced off through injury. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.
Andy Rinomhota 8
A wing-back role in a back five for him and he linked up well with Alves, while his engine allowed him to ensure Ng wasn't left isolated.
Sivert Mannsverk 7
Needed his legs and steel alongside Ramsey in the middle of the park. Continues to look more and more settled with each game.
Aaron Ramsey 7
First league start since August and did well. Sat a little deeper and dictated tempo and ordered his troops about. Played the full match and needed his experience late on.
Callum O'Dowda 7
Bombed up and down that left flank like a man possessed. Their wide players barely got a sniff while he added value to City's attack, as he always does.
Rubin Colwill 6
Played as a number 10 but very much off the left and had some really good moments as well as some sloppy ones. His show of strength paved the way for the goal early on.
Will Alves 8
Leicester have some talent on their hands here. The standout player for the Bluebirds. Turned the Pilgrims defenders inside and out and put his lovely low cross on a plate for Salech.
Yousef Salech 8
In some form, the striker. Had a good header saved inside the opening few minutes and turned home Alves' cross not long after. Added some much-needed physicality in the forward line.

Subs
Will Fish (Bagan 63) 6 - Perhaps a little bit asleep for the equaliser, with Muhamed Tijani more alert than him. Was OK thereafter.
Yakou Meite (Alves 76) 6 - Used his physicality well. Had one snap shot when he controlled the ball well before drilling wide.
Cian Ashford (Colwill 76) 7 - Had a couple of tricky runs on the left and won some free-kicks late on.
Isaak Davies (Salech 87) NA - Fantastic to see him back and looked really break with a few very positive runs.
