Wayne Rooney was left speechless after the pressure was piled on as Plymouth were thrashed 5-0 by Cardiff. The Plymouth manager had to watch his side’s capitulation from the stands as he served a one-match touchline ban after being sent off for misconduct in their previous match against Blackburn.

Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney believes Cardiff City's Perry Ng was "clever" in the role he played in Ibrahim Cissoko's red card during the Pilgrims' 5-0 thrashing in south Wales. Cissoko was sent off for shoving Ng to the ground with his team already 2-0 in the first half on Saturday.

Rooney's side suffered a thrashing at the hands of Cardiff on their return to action after the international break. The Welsh side had only enjoyed one win so far this season in the Championship heading into the game but took home all three points with a handsome victory at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Cardiff produced their best display of the season to thrash Plymouth 5-0 and heap further misery on Wayne Rooney.

Plymouth Argyle boss Wayne Rooney was unhappy with Perry Ng’s role in Ibrahim Cissoko’s red card during their 5-0 defeat at Cardiff City. The Welsh side ran out comfortable winners against Plymouth, but a turning point undoubtedly came in the 41st minute, as Cissoko was shown a straight red after an altercation with Ng.

Wayne Rooney admitted it was 'difficult to put into words' his thoughts after Plymouth Argyle's 5-0 drubbing by Cardiff City on their return to Championship action following the international break.

Wayne Rooney will take his Plymouth Argyle side to Cardiff City this weekend, with the Greens boss looking to secure his first away win in charge of the Devon outfit.
