CALLUM ROBINSON WASTED no time in sending a message to Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut as he scored after just 90 seconds on his first league start of the season.

Robinson had been limited to eight substitute appearances in the Championship so far this season, with Bulut publicly criticising his workrate last week and claiming “that he has to give everything for the team like other players”.

But the Ireland international got Cardiff off to a dream start at Huddersfield on Tuesday night as they ended their mini blip in some style with a convincing 4-0 win.

The John Smith’s Stadium was swiftly silenced as Josh Bowler pulled a cross back for Robinson, who finished with a cheeky back-heel, albeit via a hefty deflection off Matty Pearson.

Goals from Dimitrios Goutas and Yakou Meite made it 3-0 before the break before Perry Ng’s free-kick on 55 minutes completed the impressive win, which moves Cardiff up to sixth. 

Meanwhile at the Hawthorns, West Brom also climbed back into the top six with a 2-0 win against 10-man QPR in a game Jimmy Dunne will want to forget.

Brandon Thomas-Asante netted a 59th-minute penalty before man-of-the-match Grady Diangana scored the second nine minutes later, after he had been tripped by Kenneth Paal for the spot-kick.

The penalty award led to the dismissal of QPR defender Dunne for a second bookable offence for dissent, just two minutes after he was shown a yellow card after being injured.
