Yousef Salech struck twice, with his initial effort cancelled out by Leo Castledine, before substitute Isaak Davies sealed victory for Cardiff, despite Joe Taylor's late tap-in setting up a nervy finale.

Bluebirds boss Barry-Murphy said. “I was really pleased at the end with that reaction to the second goal to see out the game in such a comfortable fashion which means it's a great day for us all.”

Huddersfield could have leapt three places to fifth and manager Lee Grant cut a disappointed figure afterwards.
