Cardiff City 0-3 Leeds United highlights: Bamford, James and Georginio deliver despite penalty miss
Daniel Farke's side will be looking to end their three-match losing streak on the road in the Championship after a difficult festive period against Sunderland, Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion.
The Whites were back to winning ways against Birmingham City on New Year's Day, although that was at fortress Elland Road where the team remain unbeaten this season. A 3-0 away triumph over Peterborough United in the FA Cup Third Round last weekend will give Farke and his squad hope that their recent away form is merely a blip and not a pattern emerging.

FT: Cardiff City 0-3 Leeds United
Comprehensive, professional, job done. 3-0, 3-0, 3-0 to begin 2024. Leeds haven't conceded in close to five-and-a-half hours of football.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL GEORGINIO 3-0
88' Georginio wraps it up - cool finish into bottom corner. Dan James onto a clearance like lightning. Two Cardiff players collide & present James with the chance to run clean through. Squares to Summerville, back to Rutter via a Bamford dummy. Finish.
Subs imminent
86' Break in play as Georginio receives treatment for a head knock. Piroe and Anthony next to come on for Leeds.
Byram coming on soon
82' Firpo has a bit of an issue it looks like. Physios standing in the technical area but he's carrying on, hasn't gone down. Byram getting ready anyway.
