JACK MOYLAN CONTINUED his fine goal-scoring form as Cardiff came from 4-1 down to snatch a dramatic 5-4 win against Burnley in a thrilling Championship clash.
The Bluebirds had seen a 3-0 lead wiped out by West Ham to drop two points in midweek, but it was their turn to come from behind here as the Clarets’ miserable season continued.
The visitors opened the scoring when a hopeful punt forward from Lucas Pires allowed forward Andreas Hountondji to go through on goal and slide the ball past Nathan Trott.
Burnley doubled their lead 10 minutes later after great work on the left from Jaydon Banel. The ball came to Marcus Edwards on the edge of the box and he fired through a sea of bodies to beat Trott.
The hosts pulled one back before the break when Rubin Colwill’s goal-bound effort bounced off Ollie Tanner and in.
A poor clearance from Kristian Bielik found its way to Leeds loanee Largie Ramazani, whose effort found the top corner to restore Burnley’s two-goal advantage.
The afternoon got worse for Brian Barry-Murphy’s side as Alex Robertson diverted Aaron Ramsey’s cross into his own net to make it 4-1.
Blues boast the table-topping bragging rights after 15 games 👊

Cardiff reduced the deficit when a Burnley clearance bounced off Cian Ashford and Yousef Salech – who had come off the bench less than two minutes before – converted to give the hosts a lifeline.
Former Swansea and Wales international Connor Roberts was adjudged to have pushed Salech and midweek hat-trick hero Moylan made no mistake as the Republic of Ireland player cut the deficit to one.
Barry-Murphy’s men completed their comeback when captain Colwill’s cross found an unmarked Salech to head home off the bar to send the stadium into a frenzy.

Elsewhere, second-half goals from Isaac Price, Jayson Molumby and substitute Felix Horn Myhre gave West Bromwich Albion a 3-0 win over Millwall at The Hawthorns.
Price broke the deadlock with a superb, curling effort six minutes after the break before setting up Myhre for the 89th-minute third goal, after Republic of Ireland international Molumby scored 12 minutes from time.
A deserved return to winning ways made it six matches unbeaten for James Morrison’s side, who have now taken 13 points from their last 18.
Millwall have now suffered three consecutive losses on the road, including successive 3-0 defeats after losing at Birmingham City in midweek.
Jay Stansfield grabbed a late winner to fire Birmingham top of the Championship with a 2-1 win over 10-man Swansea.
Stansfield struck three minutes from time after a Christoph Klarer own goal had cancelled out his first-half opener for the Blues.
Lewis O’Brien’s first goal of the season earned Wrexham a 1-1 draw and prevented Wolves going top.
Wolves have never won at the Racecourse Ground but Adam Armstrong’s latest strike after 25 minutes suggested they might register a history-making victory.
Instead, O’Brien equalised for Phil Parkinson’s side two minutes later though the visitors still extended their unbeaten run to six matches.
A magnificent display by Watford goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia denied high-flying Middlesbrough victory in a 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road and cost them top spot in the table.
Despite a dominant performance, Boro drew a blank for the second time in four days and they will look upon the result as two points dropped.
Jordan Thompson’s stunning volley secured Graham Alexander’s first win as Preston manager as his team shocked Southampton 1-0 at Deepdale.
Scott Parker is still waiting for his first win as West Ham boss after suffering a 2-1 defeat at spirited Blackburn.
It was a painful return to East Lancashire for the former Burnley boss whose side dominated possession but ultimately paid for profligacy early in the second half.
Andri Gudjohnsen headed in his 10th league goal of the season and Dapo Afolayan’s powerful strike doubled the Rovers advantage 19 minutes from the end.
Joel Piroe lashed in from close range to halve the deficit and Tomas Soucek missed a glorious injury time chance as the Hammers suffered their first away defeat of the campaign.
Glen Kamara’s late goal gave QPR a 2-1 win over Lincoln City at Loftus Road.
The results are in! 🍿

Richard Kone’s 11th-minute header – his fifth goal in four matches – put the hosts ahead before Dom Jefferies’ equaliser.
Rangers endured a largely frustrating second half, but their persistence was rewarded in the 80th minute when midfielder Kamara thumped in his first goal since joining the club on a season-long loan from French side Rennes during the summer.
Jack McGlynn and Ben Wilmot scored as Stoke hit back to beat Portsmouth 2-1 and maintain their impressive Championship form.
Bristol City fans turned on manager Michael Skubala as Norwich made it nine goals in successive away victories with a 5-0 Sky Bet Championship win at Ashton Gate.
