It started so well for Cardiff City.
Sory Kaba's early penalty at Bramall Lane put the Bluebirds deservedly ahead against Sheffield United and instilled a bit of much-needed hope in the fan base that a shock result might be pulled off.
Alas, it wasn't to be and quality showed through as the Blades took apart Sabri Lamouchi's men once they got into their stride. It finished 4-1 and Cardiff could have few complaints. The home side are on course for a return to the Premier League and that gulf in class showed.
