Championship roundup: Cardiff sink Swansea as Hull grasp vital victory

Callum Robinson hits double in fiery 3-0 derby triumph
QPR deepen Plymouth woes with Kolli grabbing only goal

Cardiff claimed their biggest South Wales derby win for nearly 60 years with a 3-0 Championship victory at home to Swansea.

Callum Robinson’s brace at the start of the second half put Cardiff in command and Dimitrios Goutas thundered home a header off the underside of the crossbar to ram home their superiority. It ended a run of six games without home joy for Cardiff and secured the biggest league victory over their arch-rivals since winning 5-0 at Ninian Park in April 1965.

This roundup will update later after the 3pm kick-offs
