Friday Recap

Cardiff's vulnerability from set pieces was exposed yet again, as Wolves opened the scoring from a corner after 18 minutes.

The ball was swung in and headed goalwards by Raul Jimenez. Goalkeeper Neil Etheridge managed to parry the initial attempt, but he could not prevent Doherty from slamming the loose ball into the net at the far post.

Squawka Football highlighted Cardiff's defensive deficiencies:

Wolves threatened again five minutes later. Adama Traore had the chance to lead a break, but a poor first touch let him down. 

Writer Huw Davies summed up how good an opportunity had been wasted:

Cardiff did go close to an equaliser through Harry Arter on 36 minutes. A corner from the hosts was cleared only as far as the edge of the area, where Arter tried his luck and saw his effort hit the woodwork.

Neil Warnock's men did manage to get back on level terms just after the hour mark. Wolves failed to clear a corner, with the ball being lifted back in by Arter. Gunnarsson took a touch on his chest before volleying home.

Opta noted how it was a rare goal from the midfielder:

Cardiff took the lead with some style through Hoilett. Again a ball into the box was only cleared as far as the edge of the penalty area, and the winger curled the ball into the top corner.

Squawka Football showed how long it had been since his last Premier League goal:

It was a deserved win for Cardiff that will give them hope they can avoid relegation this season. The club travel to West Ham on Tuesday. Wolves remain in 11th but have now gone six games without a win and host Chelsea on Wednesday.
