Result: Cardiff City 2-0 Doncaster

Doncaster's poor start to the season continued this afternoon as they lost 2-0 away at Cardiff City.

A minute's silence was observed before the match to honour Mike Dye, the Bluebirds fan who died outside Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night before Wales's match against England.

After both sides drew blanks in the first half, Cardiff made the breakthrough on 52 minutes when Anthony Gerrard headed in Peter Whittingham's free kick.

Malky Mackay's side extended their lead with 15 minutes to play after Robert Earnshaw struck from six yards.

The three points keep City sixth, while Doncaster remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
