Here is how the Bluebirds players rated in the clash against the Latics.
Had one audacious chip tipped over the bar but should have done better with a headed chance in the first half. Looked the most likely to create something and was tidy with the ball at his feet. Couldn't complain when he was taken off at the break. At least he has a go and runs at people, which he deserves credit for. He was on hand to smash home late on and it was a well-taken goal. Also fluffed his lines with a half-volleyed chance early on. Spilled a couple in the second half, which led to some nervy moments. Hit one lovely cross to Harris which was punched clear. Didn't really grow into the game after the break, either. Taken off at half time and that was largely the reason, one suspects. Tried his utmost to get forward from left back but struggled to really penetrate that left-hand side. An off day for him, because he's been great all season.

Will Keane scored a dramatic equaliser in the seventh of four added minutes to rescue a precious point for Wigan Athletic at fellow strugglers Cardiff.
However, with the Cardiff bench berating the fourth official as to why the final whistle hadnโt come, a Power cross was nodded on by Fletcher for Keane to slot home from close range. But Latics were being asked more and questions at the back, with Kion Etete getting in behind, only for Amos to race off his line and make a fine block. But Latics were growing more and more into the game, with James McClean finding Lang, who couldn't get enough power on the header, before a snapshot from Jordan Cousins fizzed just over the top.
