A quickfire double from Peter Whittingham and Craig Noone secures Cardiff a 2-0 win over Millwall at the Den.

Second-half goals from Peter Whittingham and Craig Noone earned Cardiff City a 2-0 victory over Millwall at the Den tonight.

After entering the break goalless, the Bluebirds netted twice in as many minutes to end Millwall's resistance and record their third consecutive Championship win.

Kenny Jackett's hosts had the better opportunities during the opening period, but neither James Henry nor Alan Dunne could break the deadlock.

Cardiff turned first-half possession into second-half chances as Whittingham firstly gave them the lead with a superb 20-yard strike.

Noone combined with his midfield partner before laying the ball back for him to bend a left-footed effort over Lions stopper Maik Taylor.

In their next attack, Noone added his own name to the Cardiff scoresheet by applying a side-footed finish to Tommy Smith's fine reverse pass.

The Welsh outfit now have 13 points from their opening six league games, while Millwall drop to 21st with six points from as many outings.
