Cardiff vs Newcastle LIVE: Isaac Hayden is sent-off for tackle on Josh Murphy as Kenedy misses last-minute penalty
Re-live the action from the Cardiff City Stadium
Cardiff City were unable to take advantage of their numerical superiority against Newcastle United, who despite going down to 10 men had a chance to steal all three points at the death.
But Kenedy, who was lucky to still be on the pitch after kicking out at Victor Camarasa in the first half, saw his poor penalty saved by Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.
The spot-kick came in the final minute of injury-time, and not long after Newcastle midfielder Isaac Hayden was shown a straight red card for a bad challenge from behind on Josh Murphy - not long after coming on at half-time and having not completed a single pass to his teammates.

It’s a big game for…
Salomon Rondon: The Venezuelan forward was brought on with 30 minutes remaining against Spurs, but his involvement was restricted to just 11 touches, one of which was an effort that was deflected on to the bar. The West Bromwich Albion loanee will need no introduction to Newcastle’s football striking heritage, and will therefore be eager to open his account and convince Benitez of his ability to lead the line.
Stat…
Five: This will be the sixth meeting between Rafael Benitez and Neil Warnock, and the Spaniard remains undefeated against his English counterpart in their five previous meetings. In fact, the former Liverpool manager has not failed to beat Warnock since his former side’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on the opening day of the 2006/07 season.
Remember when…
Newcastle may already have secured their promotion back to the Premier League in the last meeting between these two sides, but with a glimmer of hope of claiming Championship title still there, the Magpies refused to take their foot off the gas. Benitez’s side ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, and it included this fantastic strike from former Arsenal man Isaac Hayden.
Player to watch…
Callum Paterson: The 23-year-old midfielder typified Cardiff’s spirited performance at the Vitality Stadium, working tirelessly both in terms of regaining and retaining the ball. How his link-up play with Bobby Reid develops will be one to keep an eye on, but the former Hearts man reminded everyone he could be the fulcrum of the newly-promoted side’s midfield.

Odds…
Cardiff City to win: 43/20
Newcastle to win: 6/4
Draw: 21/10
79: Arter enters himself into the 'most obvious yellow card of the season' by hacking down Joselu as he breaks into the Cardiff half after dispossessing the Bluebirds midfielder.
Newcastle are allegedly the side with ten men, although the away side are beginning to break down Cardiff.
It seems that injured Newcastle full back thinks that Harry Arter should have seen red for his foul on Joselu. I'm not sure I agree.
83: Cardiff make their final change and bring on Callum Paterson for Junior Hoilett.
Newcastle take a series of corners but they amount to nothing.
87: Has anyone ever seen Zohore score a goal, as in real life? I'm just not sure he's capable of it. He throws a tame head at something he should volley, then makes a mess of another free header. C -
89: Diame draws a foul on the edge of the box and Newcastle have a great chance to score with a free kick. Kenedy takes it and fires a low effort into the wall. *sign*
90: SIX minutes of added time. Could we see a winner? Probably not, these sides could play for six days and I doubt there'd be anything interesting to talk about.
90+5: NEWCASTLE HAVE A PENALTY
A cross from the left is blocked by Sean Morrison, and the referee points to the spot!
Kenedy to take...
90+6
SAVED!!
It's a poor penalty and it's saved. Etheridge guesses right and dives to the left and saves a penalty for the second week in a row.
