Healey at the double again for City DVP


Forward Rhys Healey's clinical double won Cardiff City's development side the South Wales bragging rights, defeating Swansea City 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium.

Nilton Terroso’s side included returning winger Craig Noone for a second consecutive match. Noone played the first 45 minutes as City’s development side defeated Birmingham City last week. Experienced duo Kagisho Dikgacoi and Etien Velikonja were also given game time at the Liberty Stadium.

Following some strong build up play, the home team took the lead on 20 minutes. Modou Barrow, recently signed from Östersunds FK, slotted the ball past Charlie Horton after being put through on goal to give Chris Llewellyn’s U21 team a one goal advantage.

GOAL: SWANSEA CITY 1-0 CARDIFF CITY (Barrow, 20 mins)

Noone’s creativity almost aided the City development side as they threatened to equalise after 32 minutes. Rhys Healey’s attempted bicycle kick from the through ball fell for Tommy O’Sullivan, whose low shot was pushed to safety somehow by Cornell.

Slovenian forward Etien Velikonja had a good chance to level after 36 minutes. Kadeem Harris and Rhys Healey couldn’t find a way past the Swans defence, with the ball falling to Velikonja on the edge of the box. The former NK Maribor man’s low effort from 18 yards deflected wide of goal. The resulting set piece gave winger Harris his first sight of goal from just inside the penalty area, but his shot was superbly blocked by Stephen Kingsley as it looked destined for the back of the net. The home side went in at half time one goal ahead.

HALF TIME: SWANSEA CITY 1-0 CARDIFF CITY

Experienced wide midfielder Noone almost found an equaliser after 53 minutes with an unorthodox volley. The former Brighton & Albion man's attempt from 18 yards cannoned out off the inside of Cornell's right post, with forward Rhys Healey unable to slot the rebound home.

Kenji Gorre will have been disappointed not to double the Swansea advantage on 55 minutes. Beating his defender, Gorre's low effort from ten yards was blocked fantastically by Tom James with the Cardiff defence clearing the danger.

The home team should have taken a two goal advantage when Kenji Gorre found Marvin Emnes three yards from goal. The forward somehow unable to divert the ball into the goal, with City 'keeper Horton reacting well to the situation to grab the ball under pressure.

An end-to-end second half with both teams creating chances. The experience and creativity of Noone was crucial as Cardiff City's development side levelled in this derby match after 65 minutes. Out wide on the right, Noone beat his man before playing an exquisite through ball past the entire home defence for Rhys Healey to lift the ball over the outrushing Cornell and equalise for Terroso's team.

GOAL: SWANSEA CITY 1-1 CARDIFF CITY (Healey, 65 mins)

Craig Noone was withdrawn after 75 minutes following a strong performance with Tyler Roche coming on for the final 15 minutes on his 19th Birthday. Tommy O'Sullivan's low cross on 81 minutes almost caught the Swans defence out, but oncoming forward Danny Johnson was unable to reach the ball.

For the second consecutive match, City's development side took the lead late in the game with forward Rhys Healey scoring his fourth goal of the U21 campaign. Birthday celebrations may follow for Tyler Roche following his rapid burst from defence, supplying Danny Johnson with a neat through ball wide on the right side. Captain Tommy O'Sullivan tried to divert Johnson's low cross, with the ball ricocheted to Healey who fired the ball beyond Cornell.

GOAL: SWANSEA CITY 1-2 CARDIFF CITY (Healey, 85 mins)

The forward continued his heroics with a goal-line clearance to deny Swansea's Stephen Kingsley an equalising goal on 88 minutes. Giancarlo Gallifuoco will have been disappointed not to hit the target with a free header in stoppage time, but the central defender powered his header over the crossbar with City DVP taking away the bragging rights.

No noone tomorrow then

No noone tomorrow then

Or Dikgacoi

He needs to build his match fitness up. I would rather him be put into these types of games than to throw him into the first team and get injured again quickly.

Very strong development side 3-1 cardiff is my prediction Healyx2 and one for Harris!

No noone tomorrow then

Is thirty minutes tonight and the bench tomorrow not a possibility?

HALF TIME: Swans 1-0 CardiffCityFC - Modou Barrow's goal separates the two teams.

Dikgacoi started v Fulham, surely his fitness levels have not gone backwards since then... Surely he should be getting up to speed in full training?

So close! Craignoone hits the post with a rasping volley

Let off for Cardiff - Marvin Emnes unable to tap home from three yards out. Great reactions from Charlie Horton

1-1. Noone assist

Always good to beat the vermin at any level.

Healey is 20 in December surely its time for a break through into the 1st team squad.

Ole likes a rotation.

I am quite surprised he hasn't featured in a cup game yet..... but we have so many forwards in the first team.

He's one of those players whose very unfortunate. Say we went back to blue but had no finances. He'd actually be perfect for us because he wouldn't have cost us much and seems to be a very clinical striker. A loan move to a L2 side would do him the world of good. Very unfortunate because of the striking options we have

I am quite surprised he hasn't featured in a cup game yet..... but we have so many forwards in the first team.

Only one of them is really scoring league goals though.
