CARDIFF, Wales: Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge saved a stoppage-time penalty from Newcastle United’s Kenedy as each side earned their first Premier League point of the season on Saturday.

Etheridge, who also saved from the spot at Bournemouth last week, blocked Kenedy’s effort after Sean Morrison's handball.

Newcastle substitute Isaac Hayden was shown a straight red card for a 66th-minute tackle from behind on Josh Murphy.

Sol Bamba and Harry Arter came close for Cardiff, while Murphy’s brother Jacob came on for the visitors, making them only the second set of twins to play against each other in the Premier League.

Newcastle entered the match having won their last 10 league meetings with Cardiff, their longest winning run against any opponent in the top tier.
