Cardiff City took another step towards a return to the Championship with an emphatic 4-0 victory at Exeter City, with Rubin Colwill striking twice in three first-half minutes to put Brian Barry-Murphy's promotion chasers firmly in control at St James' Park.
The hosts barely threatened the Bluebirds and never looked like mounting a comeback once they fell behind, extending a winless run that has left interim boss Matt Taylor's side hovering dangerously close to the League One relegation zone.
Colwill's Three-Minute Burst Breaks the Game Open
After a lively start in which Perry Ng headed against the Exeter crossbar and Omari Kellyman's follow-up was hacked clear, Cardiff made the breakthrough in the 31st minute. Ollie Tanner played the ball to Colwill, who lashed a shot across goal and into the far top corner from the edge of the penalty box with a lethal finish.
