The Bluebirds sought their first home win since October 29 as they struggled for survival in the Premier League. As they chased for a breakthrough, two shots on target struck the woodwork twice – once in 74th and once in 77th minutes.

Paul Ince’s side began to look more dangerous in the second half, yet they struggled to establish a passing game. Their keeper Joe Lumley had to save two chances when Sheyi Ojo curled a shot from 20 yards wide of the right-hand corner and Callum Robinson hit against the bar.

REWARD

Romaine Sawyers’ heroics earned Cardiff City their first home win in 111 days as they edged Reading 1-0. It was Sabri Lamouchi’s second consecutive victory and moved them five points clear of relegation danger zone.

Established in 1899 as Riverside AFC, Cardiff City changed their name to that of their rival in 1908. They entered the Championship – English football’s second tier – that year and have won 17 league titles as well as two FA Cups since then.

Their home kit has been blue and white throughout most of their history, earning them the nickname ‘The Bluebirds’. Additionally, the badge features the red dragon which is symbolic of Wales as its national emblem.
