Ten-man Cardiff City underlined their status as League One leaders with a commanding 3-0 victory over strugglers Rotherham United, a result earned despite playing more than an hour with ten men.
Rotherham, who had strung together back-to-back wins beforehand, were handed an apparent lifeline when Cardiff skipper Ryan Wintle was sent off on 21 minutes, only for the Bluebirds to grow stronger and take control of the contest.
An Early Twist That Backfired on the Hosts
The decisive incident arrived on 21 minutes when Wintle brought down Harry Gray as the forward got in on goal, and the Cardiff captain was shown a red card for the challenge.
