Cardiff City face their fierce rivals Swansea City this afternoon in what could be a historic league clash.

Russell Martin's side were well worth the win as they thumped the Bluebirds 4-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium to move five points clear of their Welsh rivals ...

We showed the team we can be and I hope it is a small reward to the supporters for the patience they have shown us. "It was a big build-up to the game, we were written off by a lot of people and to do that and show that courage is fantastic. In the 110-year history of the South Wales derby no side had ever managed to string home and away wins together - until today.

Here are some of the things you might have missed during Swansea City's dominant win over Cardiff City in the South Wales derby.

His counterpart Morison said his players were perhaps overawed by the occasion and didn't rise to the task in front of their home fans on Saturday, however the Swans dealt with the pressure far better. Michael Obafemi produced the 'swim away' celebration when he netted his first goal, while Kyle Naughton ran in front of Cardiff fans when the striker netted his second, and Swansea's fourth, late on in the tie. Russell Martin used a video of Swansea fans and club staff to stir the emotion within his players ahead of the South Wales derby. We all watched the supporters leaving the stadium on the buses earlier, and we watched a video that had been put together by the analysts and the media team. It's very accepted that things can get said one way a hell of a lot and you're expected to be the ultimate professional and take it on the chin." "There were lots of verbals from the people on the side today, as I was standing there as manager, and it is what it is.

Michael Obafemi (Swansea City) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the top right corner. Uche Ikpeazu (Cardiff City) header from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Aden Flint (Cardiff City) header from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the left. Rubin Colwill (Cardiff City) right footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. The hosts improved after the interval but unbelievably fell further behind from a corner - the first Swansea have scored from all season - as the ball fell kindly to Ben Cabango from Cyrus Christie's deflection, with Cabango picking his spot and firing into the bottom corner of the net. Swansea made history in the south Wales derby by becoming the first side in the fixture to complete a league double as they humiliated Cardiff with a 4-0 win.

Cardiff City are heading into a transition under Steve Morison and will need to rebuild their squad this summer.

Getting him on a free as well will mean focussing funds in other key areas of the pitch that perhaps need it more. What he offers importantly as a wing-back is the ability to create chances for his teammates. This of course is in the unlikely event they are able to keep hold of Cody Drameh on loan from Leeds next season, but given his level of performance for Cardiff, it will be a struggle.

We all watched the supporters leaving the stadium on the buses, and we watched a video that had been put together by the analysts and the media team. Swansea's Russell Martin: "It was the best moment I've had in management, I have not felt as emotional as this after a game. Obviously, we all want to win this game for the magnitude of it and how big it was. It was a big build-up to the game. Cardiff's Steve Morison: "It's the losing that hurts, it doesn't matter if it's 1-0 of 12-0. We haven't done enough for this football club.

“It’s such a big game, there’s so much on it for both sets of fans and both cities. “It’s important for the city. “We want to repay that. “You feed off their passion and how they feel about the club. Like any derby, it’ll be a tough afternoon. “I feel the responsibility to everyone here.

It was a brilliant afternoon in terms of the performance and atmosphere. Maybe everyone got carried away with the emotion of it. We’ll see how the game goes.

Swansea City thumped Cardiff City 4-0 to become the first ever team to do the double in the South Wales derby.

And Martin believes Cabango has all of the tools in his armoury to play at the highest level in the game. However, he was not included in the Swans' 18-man squad for the triumph against the Bluebirds. He will be assessed ahead of Tuesday night's trip to Millwall. "If you look at Ben at the start of the season to now and how much he's grown in possession and as a defender, it's incredible. He was really disappointed not to be in the squad for the big game last week. The 2021/22 campaign has been somewhat difficult for the Swansea faithful to follow due to the inconsistency of performances. He has every attribute he needs to play at the top level, in my opinion. "Ben's one of my favourite players I've ever worked with in terms of his attitude, willingness to work and do extra," said the Swansea head coach. You'll see it in the dressing room with how much he's respected by his team-mates and how much they love him. "It wasn't easy for him to come in and settle but for him to be doing what he's doing is nice to see. It was the Welshman's second goal of the campaign and his first in the Championship since netting the winner against Coventry City on February 24 last year. "I put it down to finding a level of consistency in his daily approach and his willingness to accept criticism and be honest with me and his team-mates. I'm really proud of him because he's come a long way on and off the pitch and he needs to continue growing like the rest of the young guys do with us.
