Caulker header gives Cardiff Welsh derby spoils

The defender provided the only goal of the game as Swansea ended with 10 men.

CARDIFF CITY TOOK the spoils in the first ever all-Welsh fixture in the 125-year history of the English top flight after winning 1-0 at home to fierce local rivals Swansea City.

Michu threatened twice for the visitors in the early stages, but Cardiff ultimately prevailed thanks to a 62nd-minute header from former Swansea centre-back Steven Caulker on a rain-lashed day in the Welsh capital.

The England international’s goal from a Craig Bellamy corner gave Cardiff only their second win in eight league games and had the added bonus of elevating them above Swansea to 12th place in the table.

Swansea, who had goalkeeper Michel Vorm sent off in injury time for a last-man foul on substitute Fraizer Campbell, slip to 13th.
