  • 96'
    FT: Cardiff 0-0 Newcastle. A dramatic second half here in Cardiff but there were still no goals so show for it. Isaac Hayden's red card appeared to put Cardiff in the driving seat but it was Newcastle who were given a late chance to win the game as they were awarded a penalty, only for Kenedy to see his tame effort kept out by Neil Etheridge.
  • 96'
    PENALTY SAVED! Kenedy's effort is all sorts of tame and Etheridge keeps it out away to his left!
  • 95'
    PENALTY! NEWCASTLE! Morrison handles Muto's cross and the referee points to the spot! Late drama here in Wales!
  • 94'
    AGGRO! Lascelles takes exception to Zohore's challenge on Clark and the pair briefly face each other off but the referee defuses the situation.
  • 93'
    Mendez-Laing dances his way to the byline down the right with some nice footwork but then blazes his cross 4 feet above his team-mates in the middle. This one looks like it is heading for a draw.
  • 90'
    6 minutes added on! Plenty of time for a winner!
  • 90'
    Kenedy is the man who takes it and he tries to go under the wall, but it stands firm and blocks his effort away.
  • 89'
    Diama draws a foul from Arter right on the edge of the box and Shelvey will have another chance to produce some magic.
  • 88'
    Zohore has been busy today but he's not someone I would describe as clinical. He has two more chances to break the deadlock, first as a corner drops to him and his tame header is dealt with by the man on the line, before he once again gets his body shape all wrong when attacking a cross from the right as he heads high and wide.
  • 86'
    Newcastle are the ones that are pressing late on at the moment. Shelvey picks out Joselu with a quickly-taken free-kick from deep, but his effort on the turn is blocked.
  • 85'
    Just five minutes to go here. Can Cardiff make their numerical advantage count?

  • 83'
    Hoilett limps off to be replaced by Paterson.
  • 82'
    Hoilett has gone down and signalled to the bench, it appears he may have tweaked a hamstring.
  • 80'
    It's card central here as Arter lashes out to bring down Joselu and stop a potential counter after being caught in possession.
  • 78'
    Josh Murphy is surprisingly withdrawn for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing for Cardiff.
  • 77'
    Camarasa is replaced by Bobby Reid as Cardiff switch to two up front.
  • 70'
    Jacob Murphy joins his twin brother on the field as he replaces Matt Ritchie.

Red card

a Newcastle
  • 66'
    RED CARD! NEWCASTLE! HAYDEN! The substitute slides in on Maurphy on halfway and catches him high on the outside of the ankle. The man in the middle gives himself some thinking time before going to his pocket and producing a red card! Newcastle are up against it now.
  • 65'
    Another change for Newcastle as Yoshinori Muto joins the fray, replacing Ayoze Perez.

  • 62'
    File this one under taking one for the team. Perez spins and looks to launch a counter on halfway and Camarasa just gives him a little tug back. Fou? Yes. Booking? Yes.
  • 62'
    Hoilett looks to float in a cross rather than shoot and his rather limp ball in is easily fielded by Dubravka.
  • 61'
    Hayden fells Hoilett 25 yards out and Cardiff have a free-kick in almost exactly the same position to that Jonjo Shelvey effort just before the interval.
  • 60'
    Bennett does well on the cover t prevent Ritchie from getting in behind.
  • 57'
    Ralls' effort from 20 yards is deflected into the arms of Etheridge. The 'Bluebirds' need to be taking their chances when they're on top or they'll soon discover how cut-throat the Premier League can be.
  • 54'
    CHANCE! Hoilett pulls the ball back for Ralls down the right and he flights in a cross. Zohore is unmarked in the middle but he gets his body shape all wrong and can't manage to direct an effort on target. What a chance for the Dane!
  • 51'
    More good work from Murphy down the left as he escapes his man and hangs the ball up to the far post, but Hoilett can't get up high enough and his effort loops high over the crossbar.
  • 50'
    Dubravka fails to adequately clear and Hoilett has the chance to run at the exposed Newcastle backline, but his stabbed effort is blocked away by Lascelles.
  • 49'
    Harry Arter takes a knock to the head and need some treatment, but he'll be fine to continue.
Substitution

Substitution

at Newcastle
  • 46'
    The visitors have made a change at the break, with utility man Isaac Hayden on for Javier Manquillo at right-back. The Spaniard was having a torrid afternoon up against Josh Murphy and Joe Bennett and appeared to injure his ankle in a challenge with the former towards the end of the first half.
  • 46'
    Cardiff get us back underway!
  • 45'
    HT: Cardiff 0-0 Newcastle. Nothing to choose from between the two sides at the break. Cardiff have looked a danger from set-pieces and Javier Manquillo has struggled to cope with Josh Murphy down the right, but it is Neil Etheridge who has been the busier of the two goalkeeper, twice making good saves to deny Ayoze Perez.
  • 45'
    Cardiff are the ones pressing as the half comes to a close. Another Ralls corner looks for Bamba, but Dummett does enough to head over his own crossbar on this occasion.
  • 45'
    Josh Murphy dishes out his own brand of rough justice by thundering in on Manquillo. He gets the ball, but he looks to have left a mark as well as the full-back lies prone.
  • 45'
    1 minute added on.
  • 45'
    Shelvey takes responsibility, but Etheridge gobbles up his effort on the bounce. As you were.
  • 44'
    Kenedy is clipped 25 yards out by Bamba and this is a wonderful dead-ball opportunity for the visitors. Shelvey and Ritchie are over it.
  • 40'
    Perez attempts to get on the end of a deep ball to the far post from Shelvey but Etheridge stands up to make another strong block.
  • 39'
    Half a chance for Cardiff as Bennett loops a cross into the box, but Zohore can't get enough on his header and it drifts wide of the far post. That left-hand side is looking like Cardiff's best chance of creating something.
  • 37'
    The early actions has died down somewhat here as the game becomes more bitty.
  • 33'
    Kenedy you lucky boy! The Brazilian is one the receiving end of a firm, but fair challenge from Arter and responds by taking a swipe at the shins of Camarasa, who has the temerity to be in close proximity. He gets away without so much as a warning. There are suggestions this one could get quite feisty.
  • 31'
    Not so good from Murphy as he blazes the resulting free-kick high into the back of the stand.

Yellow card

a Newcastle
  • 30'
    Manquillo seems surprised at being issued with a booking , despite heaving Murphy this way and that and pulling him back after being outdone. The winger certainly has the better of his man down that Cardiff left.
  • 29'
    Manquillo looks to get to the byline down the right but his attempted cross is blocked back off him and goes out for a goal kick.
  • 25'
    Camarasa scuffs a volley wide but the whistle had already gone for a foul by Zohore in the build-up.
  • 23'
    Joe Bennett concedes a corner with a wonderful recovery challenge after Ritchie had looked like getting the better of him.
  • 19'
    Good defending from Clark as he comes across to take the sting out of Zohore's cross-cum-shot after he was slipped in down the left-hand channel by a wonderful pass from Murphy.
  • 15'
    Josh Murphy is chasing about like a loose terrier down the Cardiff left, clearly keen to make an impression against his boyhood side.
  • 11'
    CHANCE! Bennet slips to allow Perez to gather the ball just outside the box. He looks for Ritchie but his attempt pass bounces back to him offer the defender to give him a clear shot at Etheridge, albeit from a slightly narrow angle, but the goalkeeper is quick off his line to smother the effort. End-to-end stuff here so far!
  • 10'
    CLOSE! Ralls curls in a right-wing corner with his left foot and Bamba shakes off his marker to meet it six yards out, but Perez stretches out a leg to block his goal-bound effort.
  • 8'
    CHANCE! Kenedy receives the ball from Shelvey 20 yards out and finds the space for a shot. His effort is kept out by Etheridge, but Joselu is sniffing around the rebound, only for the Filipino to leap onto the loose ball to see off the danger.
  • 7'
    Dubravka is fortunate as Zohore almost charges down his clearance after Lascelles' back-pass.
  • 3'
    Ritchie flies in on Ecuele Manga and the Cardiff players are immediately surrounding the referee. The Scotland international was certainly out of control but he gets away with a booking as the defender gingerly gets to his feet.
  • 1'
    Newcastle get the ball rolling here in Cardiff!

    Jacob and Josh Murphy could become the first pair of identical twins to play against each other in the Premier League today. Josh starts for Cardiff, whilst Jacob is on the bench for the visitors.
  • PRVW
    Here's how these two sides have fared recently going into this one:
  • PRVW
    Cardiff have lost 10 straight league games against Newcastle, the run is each team's record run of victories/defeats against a single opponent.
  • PRVW
    Rafa Benitez is unbeaten in five meetings with Neil Warnock (W4, D1, L0).
  • PRVW
    Newcastle have lost five of their last six Premier League games.
  • PRVW
    Newcastle make just the one change and it's an enforced one as Javier Manquillo replaces DeAndre Yedlin at right-back after he injured a knee in the opening-day defeat to Spurs.
  • PRVW
    Four changes for Cardiff then as Victor Camarasa, Josh Murphy, Kenneth Zohore and Harry Arter come in for Bobby Reid, Callum Paterson, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Lee Peltier. Camarasa, Murphy and Arter make their full debuts for the club, with Murphy playing against his boyhood side.
  • PRVW
    Newcastle: Dubravka; Manquillo, Lazcelles, Clark, Dummett; Ritchie, Diame, Shelvey, Kenedy; Perez; Joselu. Subs: Darlow, Fernandez, Hayden, Ki, Murphy, Muto, Rondon.
  • PRVW
    Cardiff: Etheridge; Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Camarasa, Arter, Ralls; Murphy, Zohore, Hoilett. Subs: Smithies, Richards, Paterson, Reid, Cunningham, Mendez-Laing, Madine.

    Joselu could become the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer to score in Newcastle's opening two Premier League games of a campaign.
  • PRVW
    Cardiff got their campaign underway with a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in which they rarely threatened Eddie Howe's side. Newcastle, meanwhile, went down 2-1 Spurs as Dele Alli's header denied them the opportunity of getting something from the game.
  • PRVW
    These two sides have both been tipped to be involved in the battle against relegation this season and both go into this one looking to claim their first victory of the new Premier League season.
