There goes the final whistle. Puncheon almost in for the hat-trick, but it doesn't make any difference. A 3-0 win on the day. All too easy for Tony Pulis' side.
89'
Campbell with a tame shot straight at Speroni. Highly impressive win for Palace - their biggest win of the season as Murray breaks. We are into four minutes of time added on.

GOAL! Puncheon slams the ball high into the net from 25 yards. Superb swerving finish high above Marshall. 3-0 and this match well and truly over. Cardiff an utter shambles at the back.
87'
Marshall almost making a mess of a pass to Medel, who does just enough to tackle Murray. Would have been in for a third goal there.
86'
Bellamy has a go from 35 yards out, but he smashes the effort well over the bar. A few of the home fans begin to head for the exit doors.
85'
A victory today would give Crystal Palace 34 points, one more than they had for the whole of their last season in the Premier League in 04/05 (33).
84'
Ole Gunnar Solskjær looking resigned to his fate. Today at least. Not yet doomed, but time running out for Cardiff with only five games remaining. Will stay in the bottom three due to this defeat.
83'
Noone sees a deflected cross loop up and land in the arms of Speroni.

Glenn Murray takes over from Jerome as Palace try to see out these closing eight minutes or so.
81'
Probably their best chance of the match. Doesn't look like it is going to be their day out there.

Bellamy with a corner. Campbell tries to meet it, but ends up heading wide from five yards. Free header. How did he not hit the target with that effort?
79'
Parr is wheeled on for the visiting side with Ledley departing the scene due to injury.

Cowie is thrown on for Cardiff to replace Jones.

Ledley catches Campbell with a late challenge out wide. He is going to be booked for that effort. And he is also down injured.
76'
Joe Ledley has scored his first Premier League away goal, and first Lge away goals since netting twice in Celtic’s 4-1 win at Ross County on Nov 9. He made 256 appearances, scoring 29 goals for Cardiff, 2004-10.
75'
Palace could score more goals here if they put their minds to it. Utterly dominant in this contest. Cardiff a distant second.

Mariappa has been yellow carded after taking out Bellamy. Not a bad booking to take at this stage in the game.

Daehli departs to be replaced by Bellamy for the home side.
72'
Ledley's second goal for the club after he netted on his debut for Palace. Long way back here for Cardiff. Have not really been at the races.
71'
A 2-0 lead for Palace now. And surely they are heading towards Premier League safety. Ledley doesn't celebrate against his old club.
