Championship roundup: Southampton fall at Cardiff, Stoke thrash Plymouth
Saints’ automatic promotion hopes hit by 2-1 loss in CardiffStoke beat Plymouth 3-0, Huddersfield lose 4-0 to Swansea
Southampton’s hopes of making it a four-way fight for automatic promotion took a huge hit after Cian Ashford’s stoppage-time strike consigned them to a 2-1 defeat at Cardiff.
Russell Martin’s side appeared to be on their way to a fourth successive win when Joe Aribo gave them a 12th-minute lead. But Cardiff hit back with an equaliser through Famara Diedhiou in the 68th minute and won it six minutes into added time when Ashford’s 30-yard strike was deflected past Alex McCarthy.
