McCormack at the double in win
Ross McCormack showed potential suitors his worth as he came off the bench to score twice and help Cardiff to a 4-1 win against plucky Burton.
McCormack, strongly linked with Ipswich on Wednesday, came on at the start of the second half to replace the injured Jay Bothroyd, and he scored two well-taken goals in extra-time to see off the League Two side.
The Bluebirds opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Peter Whittingham found himself in space on the left and crossed for Bothroyd to score his second goal in as many games with a neat close-range finish.
Their joy was shortlived, though, as an under-hit backpass from Anthony Gerrard allowed Shaun Harrad to steal in and equalise for Albion - his sixth goal in his last eight games.
The home side finally snatched a second goal in the 107th minute. A good run from Jason Koumas ended with a shot which was only parried by Adam Legzdins, and the ball eventually fell to McCormack who tucked the ball home via the far post.
Burton found themselves 3-1 down shortly afterwards when McCormack found some space on the edge of the box and picked his spot into the bottom corner. And Michael Chopra completed the scoring with two minutes remaining, slotting home a superb throughball from Koumas.
