    Middlesbrough take the three points back with them on that long journey back to Teeside thanks to Matt Clarke's header and an Aaron Ramsey own goal.

    Clarke gave the away side the lead early in the second half before Ramsey hit the post for Cardiff.

    But the Bluebirds captain could do nothing to prevent Aidan Morris's drive from striking him and deflecting into the net.

    Cardiff will be bottom of the table going into the international break, barring an eight-goal annihilation of Millwall at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday at The Den shortly.

    GOAL: Cardiff 0-2 Middlesbroughpublished at 14:12 British Summer Time 31 August

    Aaron Ramsey (83 min OG)

    That should be that for Middlesbrough!

    They've been in control as the game has wound down towards its end and the two substitutes Emmanuel Latte Lath and Alex Gilbert combine well down the left.

    The ball comes to Aidan Morris who thumps it in via a deflection off of Aaron Ramsey.

    There's confusion in the aftermath but the goal is given and it has been awarded as an own goal to the Cardiff captain. It did appear to be going wide before it struck the midfielder.

    The red cards are making a fair few appearances on the pitches this afternoon. Arsenal, Blackburn, Gillingham and now... Huddersfield.

    Substitute Danny Ward was sent off for foul play but it didn't deter his fellow second-half addition as Joe Hodge put Town in front.

    Can they maintain their lead with just 10 men? It quickly turns out the answer is no. Huddersfield conceded a pentalty and Rotherham made it 1-1 with a Jonson Clarke-Harris spot kick.

    And while all that was going on, Wycombe got themselves in front at Blackpool in the other lunchtime League One game with a Daniel Udoh strike from the edge of the box.

    Norwich's Borja Sainz picks up the ball around the edge of the box on the left-hand side and curls an effort goal-bound.

    Burnley 1-1 Blackburn

    Burnley win a corner after a stylish set of passes to swamp the Blackburn defence, causing the visitors to hastily clear.

    In the process Lyle Foster is booked for a late challenge on Blackburn substitute Yuki Ohashi.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 31 August

    Cardiff 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Well now, something for the home fans to cheer as Callum Robinson - the scorer of their only league goal - comes on in place of Wilfried Kanga.
