Roy Keane enjoyed a dream start as Ipswich Town's new manager thanks to a surprisingly easy 3-0 victory at Cardiff City.

The Manchester United legend was appointed on Thursday following the sacking of Jim Magilton.

And his tenure began in true style thanks to goals from Pablo Counago, David Norris and Jon Stead.

The Spaniard broke the deadlock with a cool finish after an excellent run and cross by substitute Stead.

Norris made it two six minutes after the interval with a low drive into the bottom left-hand corner.

Stead then applied the finishing touch by stroking home from close range, after Ivan Campo's free-kick rattled the left-hand post.
