Cardiff End Chasetown Dream

Sat 05 Jan, 05:09 PM


Cardiff City fought back from a goal down to secure a 3-1 victory over Chasetown in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

The Bluebirds weathered early pressure from the non-league side, but fell behind in the 17th minute when Kevin McNaughton inadvertently diverted a right wing cross into his own net.

That lead nearly managed survived until the break, before Peter Whittingham's well-placed shot in first-half stoppage time levelled matters.

The visitors dominated after the interval and went in front through a Aaron Ramsey header on the hour mark with Paul Parry's fine finish under Lee Evans wrapping things up 17 minutes from time.
