Bermudian goalkeeper Nathan Trott reached a major milestone this afternoon as Cardiff City continued their relentless pursuit of promotion with a commanding 4–0 victory over Exeter City.
Trott was in exceptional form at St James Park, securing his 13th clean sheet in 34 appearances this season. The Bluebirds dominated from the outset, with goals from Alex Robertson, Callum Robinson, and a Rubin Colwill brace ensuring Trott had a relatively comfortable afternoon between the posts. The result keeps Cardiff firmly in the hunt at the top of the table, while Exeter’s winless run stretches to eleven matches.
Further up the pyramid, Nahki Wells and his Luton Town teammates secured a vital three points on the road at Adams Park. In a tightly contested affair against Wycombe Wanderers, the Hatters showed their clinical edge to secure a 2–1 victory. Wells was central to Luton’s offensive pressure throughout, helping his side maintain their momentum as they look to solidify their standing in the league.
