Swansea claim victory against Cardiff

Cardiff City has been beaten for the first time at home this afternoon against an impressive Swansea City game, in this all Welsh derby Swansea were the better side and deservedly winners following an second have strike from Marvin Emnes on the 74th minute. Emnes on-loan from Middlesbrough where his next game would be his last as the load runs out had a game to remember, going close on a few occasions.

A Cardiff win would of seen the Bluebirds claim their finest ever start to a league season but where Cardiff were desperate to put their rivals away, who are currently on third position behind Cardiff in the league standings, Cardiff struggled to come out the blocks and were on the back foot for most of the game, rarely creating goalscoring chances. Star striker Craig Bellamy had an afternoon to forget with two wasted chances, including a close range header right at the death.
