Cardiff vs Swansea Player Ratings: Caulker and Medel shine in gutsy win for the Bluebirds

Swansea City:

Michel Vorm (-49)

Made one save and couldn’t do anything about the goal, but was deservedly sent off in the final few minutes.

Angel Rangel (1)

Put a shift in at full-back with two tackles and two headed duels.

Ashley Williams (43)

Imperious at the back with nine of ten headed duels and an 86 per cent pass completion rate.

Chico Flores (21)

Equally as impressive as Williams with 82 per cent pass completion rate and six clearances.

Neil Taylor (24)

Got forward well with 84 per cent pass accuracy.

Leon Britton (27)

Got heavily involved with the play, completing 93 per cent of his passes.

Jonjo Shelvey (-12)

A few rash tackles aside, he completed one cross – a superb ball into Michu that could have led to an assist had the Spaniard converted it.

Jonathan de Guzman (5)

Wasn’t as involved as his fellow midfielders but held onto the ball well with 85 per cent pass completion.

Wayne Routledge (-18)

Failed to provide a cutting edge with just one successful cross out of three and failing to beat his man twice.

Nathan Dyer (-11)

Simiar to Routledge, Dyer failed to beat a player on four occasions.

Michu (23)

An off-day for the Spaniard as he failed to convert from a golden chance in the first-half.

Subs:

Wilfried Bony (7)

Tried to get Swansea back in it but his efforts were in vain.

Alejandro Pozuelo (10)

Didn’t have much time to make an impact.

Alvaro Vasquez (0)

Not given enough time to impress.
