Championship: Cardiff City 2 - 1 Huddersfield Town

-

Two goals from  Kieffer Moore earned Cardiff City a first win in 11 games against Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield took the lead after Daniel Sinani took advantage of poor defending by the Bluebirds to put them ahead early on.

The game appeared to be slipping away again from Cardiff, but Kieffer Moore headed home Joe Ralls' corner and draw the Bluebirds level with just over 15 minutes to go. 

In injury time, Moore stepped up again. This time the cross came from youngster Isaak Davies' cross to put an end to the Bluebirds' miserable form and give the caretaker manager Steve Morison win.

After the match, Steve Morison told the media that he has "loved" his three games in charge of the Championship side.
