Derby County fell to a late defeat in South Wales as Uche Ikpeazu’s strike in the 86th minute secured victory for Cardiff City.
The striker, who came on as a second half substitute, received a cross into the box and finished past Ryan Allsop to secure all three points for the home side.
The Rams did have chances in the game, with Ravel Morrison having Derby’s best chance of the game early in the second half but a wonder save from Alex Smithies denied the midfielder the opening goal as Derby fell to defeat.
Manager Wayne Rooney made two changes to his side from Saturday’s defeat to Luton Town as Luke Plange and Festy Ebosele returned to the starting 11.
