Joe Ralls hit a hat-trick, including two penalties, for a Cardiff side who had Danny Ward dismissed nine minutes into the second half. Ralls levelled from 12 yards to cancel out Kristian Pedersen’s opener, and Curtis Nelson completed the turnaround before Danny Ward saw red for a lunge. Despite being a man light Ralls added another but it looked like they would have to hang on when Ivan Subjic set up an exciting finish, only for another penalty to be converted by the hosts after Harlee Dean was dismissed.

Said Benrahma made it 6-0 with a penalty in the 71st minute before Dasilva was handed the chance to complete his hat-trick, also from the spot.
