    Cardiff have to stop the flow of the game and if that means giving away little free kicks around the field then you do it, because the flow is with Swansea.

    Dillon Phillips pumps the ball forward but Kieffer Moore has no chance of getting to that one.

    Fine work by Andre Ayew wins Swansea a free-kick on the edge of the box.
