Callum Robinson entered the 2024-25 in blistering form having scored six goals during Cardiff City's pre-season.
The forward has now notched up the Bluebirds' first goal of the Championship season to earn Erol Bulut's men a 1-1 draw with local rivals Swansea City - and their first point of the campaign.
The derby goal after Robinson held clear-the-air talks with manager Bulut over the summer following an injury-hit 2023-24 season in which the frontman scored just once in the Championship.
And former Wales striker Iwan Roberts believes Republic of Ireland international Robinson's goal at the Swansea.com Stadium could help reignite his Cardiff career.
"It wasn't until Erol Bulut made his substitutions - he brought on the likes of Rubin Colwill, Ollie Tanner, the goalscorer Callum Robinson, it was good to see [Anwar] El Ghazi get his first appearance for Cardiff - that they got a foothold in the game," Roberts told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
"They scored a very good equaliser through Callum Robinson, his first goal of the season.
"He only got one goal in 23 league appearances last season for Cardiff.
"It's been a bit of a stop-start period for him since he joined the football club.
"He'll be hoping this goal against Swansea will kickstart his Cardiff career.
"All in all, I think it was a better point for Cardiff than it was for Swansea."
