    Mick McCarthy, with arms folded on the touchline, must be wondering what is around the corner with his team seemingly heading for a sixth straight defeat.

    Cardiff have had their moments in this game, but seem set to finish up well beaten.

    This has been a vibrant performance by Swansea, who look like a team making some progress under Russell Martin.

    This is the heaviest south Wales derby win since Swansea beat Cardiff 3-0 in the Premier League in 2014.

    We will have three additional minutes.

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    In terms of the Championship, Swansea will rise to 17th and Cardiff remain 20th.

    But Cardiff probably came into this campaign with loftier ambitions than the Swans.

    This result is seismic for Swansea.

    It's 168 days until these sides meet again.

    Something has to change.

    In that respect, Mick McCarthy probably has to go.

    You can't keep going the way things are going.

    Former Cardiff defender on BBC Radio Wales

    You've got the same players and the same people at the top making the same mistakes.

    So Mick McCarthy, will he go?

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 85 mins

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Will Vaulks on for Joe Ralls for Cardiff.

    Swansea replace Joel Piroe with Liam Cullen.

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Ethan Laird reacts furiously to a Curtis Nelson challenge.

    Still a feisty affair, even if the tension has completely gone from this game.

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    I'll tell you what, Cardiff couldn't half do with a leader like Jason Perry on the pitch now.

    Former Cardiff defender on BBC Radio Wales

    The scoreboard hurts you but the fact there's no leaders, losing the physical battle... this doesn't half hurt.

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Another Ethan Laird surging run, this time it wins a corner.

    Jamie Paterson will be man of the match, but Laird has been superb.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Ryan Bennett goes off for Ben Cabango and Cardiff change shape with Rubin Colwill on for Ciaron Brown.

    Cardiff's change seems a little like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted doesn't it?

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Swansea's biggest league win over Cardiff was 5-1 in 1949.

    The record winning margin in a south Wales derby for either side was Cardiff's 5-0 victory in 1965.

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    This is one of the most one-sided south Wales derbies in recent memory.

  18. 'Game over'published at 77 mins

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    Ian Walsh
    Former Swansea striker on BBC Radio Wales

    First of all, the referee allows Swansea to play advantage, which is good.

    Great work from Ethan Laird, only one winner with that pace.

    But my word, Jamie Paterson, man of the match - he flicks the ball up delightfully and Jake Bidwell is there to finish.

    That is game over.

  19. CLOSE!published at 76 mins

    Swansea 3-0 Cardiff

    It should be 3-1 as Ben Hamer misses his punch, but Ryan Bennett does brilliantly to prevent Kieffer Moore finding the empty net.

    GOAL - Swansea 3-0 Cardiffpublished at 13:32 British Summer Time 17 October 2021

    Jake Bidwell

    It's three and it has been coming.

    Flynn Downes turns defence into attack in an instant with some lovely control and a great pass.

    Jamie Paterson picks up the ball and runs at Cardiff, dinking a cross from a narrow angle that Bidwell headed in from virtually on the line.

    Game, set and match.

    Mick McCarthy is a manager under major, major pressure now.
