    Second-placed Cardiff cut the gap to leaders Wolves to one point with a second-half comeback last night.

    The Bluebirds, 1-0 down to Norwich at half-time, came back to beat the Canaries 3-1 and give boss Neil Warnock a happy 69th birthday.

    Elsewhere, Leeds and Aston Villa played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, which moved the hosts to two points off the top six and kept Villa fourth in the table.
