Jack Moylan scores first-half hat-trick for Cardiff City against West Ham

Ireland star continues superb form as Hammers fight back under new boss Scott Parker.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND international Jack Moylan scored a stunning first-half hat-trick as Cardiff City led West Ham United 3-0 in the Championship. 

But the Hammers – in their first game under new manager Scott Parker – hit back to draw level by the 82nd minute. It finished 3-3 as the sides shared the spoils.

The opening period was all about Moylan. The Dubliner opened his account with an incredible strike just after 10 minutes, and doubled Cardiff’s lead with a 37th-minute penalty.

The former Shelbourne star completed his hat-trick with a header from a corner just over two minutes later as he continues his superb form for Brian Barry-Murphy’s side.

Moylan’s fellow Ireland international Joel Bagan also started for the hosts at Cardiff City Stadium.

Wrexham and Middlesbrough, and Bristol City and Wolves, face off in Wednesday’s other Championship fixtures.
