FT: Cardiff 1-0 Reading
Image source, Rex FeaturesIt's been a massive week for Championship strugglers Cardiff City since they slumped to a 3-1 home defeat by promotion-chasing Middlesbrough last Saturday.
The loss to the Teessiders left them winless in 13 league matches and out of the relegation zone on goal difference only.
However, Sabri Lamouchi's men got that monkey off their back with a 2-0 success at Birmingham on Tuesday and backed it up with a 1-0 win over Reading on Friday night.
Romaine Sawyers was the Bluebirds' hero as he bagged the winner in time added on.

Millwall v Sheff Utd (12:30 GMT)
Image source, rexSecond-placed Sheffield United saw their 13-match unbeaten run brought to an end in unceremonious fashion by Middlesbrough on Wednesday evening.
Third-placed Boro claimed a 3-1 win at Bramall Lane to close the gap on the Blades to seven points and, potentially at least, bring the automatic promotion race back into some sort of jeopardy.
Boss Paul Heckingbottom, who was sent to the stands during the game, now takes his men to Millwall, looking to avoid successive league defeats for the first time since October.
The Lions' are in decent nick themselves and will go fifth with a win.
After that? Just the nine Championship matches and full schedules in Leagues One and Two.
Let's get going!
