Victorious Bluebirds top for Christmas

Cardiff will be top of the npower Championship table at Christmas after recording a 1-0 win at Leicester.

The Bluebirds bounced back from their disappointing defeat against Peterborough as Wales international Craig Bellamy's well-struck half-volley gave them victory over the Foxes.

Bottom side Posh continued their recent resurgence as they came out on top in a remarkable nine-goal thriller against Bolton. Lee Tomlin and Dwight Gayle struck to put the Posh 2-0 up, but Keith Andrews pulled one back from the spot, while George Thorne made it 3-1, only for Andrews to again convert from the penalty spot.
